Elena Dementieva Win Quotations

Usually I like to win 7-6 in the third,

Yes, I think she is, but it's not easy to win a title, ... I think that's one more step that she can do because she has a pretty solid game. She's still pretty young.

She deserved to win this one, I was a little bit lucky, ... I have no excuse for serving like that.

Maybe I was a little bit angry in the second set, but then I know if I want to win this match, I have to be focused, not think about what she did, ... ... I didn't take advantage of the first set, that I was playing so good. ... I just gave her a chance to play better in the second set, and she took the advantage of this.

I had a very slow start and it was a tough match, she's a very talented young player and it's not easy to play against her, so I was very happy that I was able to win this match.

When you play you don't even think about the score. You're trying to win every single point. I was trying to stay focused.

We lose as a team and we win as a team,

I usually play three sets. And to win the first set and lead 4-0 in the second in such a short period of time, I felt like something was wrong. I just suddenly lost my concentration and aggressiveness.

I haven't set any big goals for myself this year. I just want to increase the level of my game. I am trying to get a better serve. I know that can help me win a big title.

But I still feel like it was a great tournament for me, big win yesterday. Even that I lost today 6-1, 6-2, I feel like I have a game to beat her ? but not today.

The idea is to win tournaments. But I'm satisfied with the aggressive way I'm playing. I moved her around the court very well.
