Zheng Jie Quotations

Since the end of the match my mobile phone has been ringing nonstop. This title is one of the best gifts we can give to the Chinese people.

I try to play more quickly, more flat, because I'm not as tall as the other players. So that's why I try to do this playing style. My baseline game is okay, but my serve is not good enough, I need to improve it.

This is the first time for a Chinese player to reach the quarter-finals in a big tournament. It's no big surprise. Just a quarter. If you win the tournament it's a big surprise.

I still don't have the feel of the courts.

We felt good in the first set but I think in the second set we were a little lucky.

My opponent did a good job in both speed and power, and played down my performance. And my shots lacked spin, and offered no threat.

My opponent did a good job in both speed and power. And my service lacked spin, which hardly threatened my rival.

It was a good chance to play with Serena but what is a pity that I cannot get the chance today.

It was a good chance to play with Serena but today is not that chance. I met her before on grass and I was looking forward to meeting her on a hard court.

We're trying to do some things the professional way. Also we try to prepare for 2008. It's the same thing. If we get (on top) in the pro tour, also we can get there in 2008.
