Jelena Kostanic Quotations

I had no energy left after the second set.

I'll never know. After that I think she picked up her game a little bit. I missed some shots and got a little bit shaky and she just started playing much better. There were a lot of close games that I didn't win. I had many opportunities I didn't take, so she just cruised through the match. But I think she played really good. It just didn't come for me today.

I had to be consistent against her because she runs very good and is a very good player.

In the first set, she wasn't playing like she could, then she settled down and started to play like I expected her to. Then I got tired and lost concentration and lost my serve. Other than that I served well in the match. She likes it when you play hard and flat, so I mixed it up and played a lot of slice, she didn't like that so much.

I'm really happy about this; it's a great start to the year. If someone told me two weeks ago I would make it to the finals both weeks, I would have said they were crazy. I'm disappointed not to win here tonight, but considering everything, I'm happy.
