Lindsay Davenport Tournament Quotations

I did not play my best and know I have to get better, but typically I tend to get better as the tournament goes on,

I feel this is my hometown tournament and one in which I have always looked forward to playing. My back is just not ready yet for competition.

Coming here, it's been a really great opportunity to relax and get back out on the court right away after losing in New York ... I wouldn't fly all this way if I didn't want to win the tournament and perform at a high level.

That was a big test for my back. It was really important just to play some matches and hopefully get the rust out of my game. Obviously, to win the tournament and going into New York with that under my belt is a great feeling.

You never get sick of winning, that could never happen, ... It was a struggle. It wasn't the easiest tournament I've ever won.

I'm going to play when I'm healthy, when it's right, ... I try to focus on the quality that I can bring to each tournament that I enter.

I'm really happy that I was able to come here and get through these matches and still feel healthy and ready to go to New York, ... This was a big test for my back. I think it was real important just to play some matches and get the rust out of my game. Obviously to win this tournament is a bonus. Overall, the week was nothing but a positive for me.

I just hope I can get better as the tournament goes on.

The city of Philadelphia and the tournament have been fantastic supporters of women's tennis and I know will once again put on a great event.
