Lindsay Davenport Felt Quotations

She's given me some problems in the past. In Australia, I was really struggling to control the points, ... Here today, I felt like even some of the games I lost, I was dictating the points, hitting the ball well, not letting her take the balls early and step in.

On the second set, I felt like I was playing well and hitting the ball well, ... First set, I just don't think either of us played all that well. ... But as the match went on, I felt like I was getting much better rhythm and on top of the balls and being a little bit more consistent with my shot.

I felt I played really well the first set and a half. Obviously that's the kind of tennis I prefer to play.

I felt like I had a much better tempo to my serve.

I felt like, for awhile there, I couldn't have played much worse - like, it was not good.

I felt like a lot of it had to do with me. I just felt like I was making errors on balls I didn't need to make errors on. I was never really in control of points...(I'm) just annoyed. You obviously want to play a little bit better than what I played in a quarterfinal match.

I felt like a lot of it had to do with me, ... I just felt like I was making errors on balls I didn't need to make errors on. I was never really in control of points...(I'm) just annoyed. You obviously want to play a little bit better than what I played in a quarterfinal match.

I felt like we both got a little sloppy,

I felt like today was the best I've played here so far this year. I'm really happy to play well and get some momentum going. I want to win this again.

I felt like I was in control, ... This is a really, really fast court. My serve really helped me and got me out of trouble all week.

I feel like today I played a lot better. The other night I felt like I was just a second or two off in my reactions. Today I felt like I stepped it up a little and was more consistent and was in control of the points more.

Today I felt like I stepped it up a little bit better and was more consistent.

I think the difference in the second set was once I got broken to 2-2 I felt like she played with a little bit more confidence, ... The balls were definitely coming a little bit harder and deeper. She wasn't really allowing me to be inside the baseline as much as I was in the first set. I didn't play a great game to get broken, but overall I got it back together at the end and obviously I'm happy to come out with a victory.

I think that it's a very, very tough sport. Obviously Martina has been one of the best players that has ever played, so I'm sure she wouldn't be coming back unless she felt like she could make this transition.

It felt like it's been so long. It's an incredible feeling after the tough year last year,

It felt great tonight playing. It was so funny, I was really concerned yesterday, and then today I wake up and it did really well. I felt like I didn't have any limitations.

It felt great. I feel like I didn't allow her to do too much with her game, and I was hitting a lot of winners and stepping in and hitting the ball hard.

We had a few really close games in the beginning that I was able to come through. It seemed like as the match went on, she probably lost a little confidence, and I felt like I was playing better and better.

Both of us got a little sloppy in the second set. It felt really tiring. I felt like I got to win in two sets.

As the match went on, ... I felt like I was getting better rhythm and on top of the balls ? and being a little bit more consistent with my shots.

This is one of the best matches I've played for sure here so far, and I felt like I was really aggressive and yet I could move well. My back wasn't a problem. You know, I was consistent, hitting the ball hard, very excited about that.

It was a terrible match. People asked me if I was hurt (the residue of a back injury that bothered her during the Wimbledon final against Venus Williams). I wish I could say that. Unfortunately, I felt fine. At Wimbledon, I played my heart out and played really well and I totally got beat. Against Elena, I felt a lot of it had to do with me.

It's tough sometimes to play four weeks in a row and still to come out on top, ... I've played a lot of matches the last few weeks and I felt this whole week was a success. I won in straight sets every match, and it's not always easy to win when you're expected to win. I felt I handled that very well this week.

It's the kind of tennis I want to play. I felt like I was really aggressive and yet I could move well. I was consistent, hitting the ball hard. I'm very excited about that.

It's great, ... It's really, really a bizarre feeling to put your fate in other people's hands so to speak. It's unbelievable to do it four times. I wouldn't have felt last year that I have a chance to do that again.

(It) took me about the middle of the first set till I really felt like I was hitting the ball with more authority and moving forward,

I knew I'd be rusty and trying to find my rhythm. I felt I got a break at 4-4 in the first set. After that, I played calmer and more consistent.

In the first set I felt so wild,

I hope I have that desire in me when the time comes. I'm annoyed at the moment. At Wimbledon, I played my heart out and totally got beat. Today, I felt like a lot of it had to do with me.

I really felt that this was a lot closer than the score suggests. Francesca is a tough player to play against. Every ball she can get is going to come back.

But I felt like when I concentrated and played more aggressive tennis then I played well. It was a good match to play.

I felt within myself. I felt like I was hitting the ball well and I wasn't panicked and I wasn't uptight about anything.

I felt that I wasn't even close, to be honest,
