Elena Dementieva Game Quotations

She played well in the first two sets, ... I just continued to play the same game in the third set and remain aggressive. The plan was to run Pierce all over the court as we thought that I was the stronger player physically.

You can change the game around by playing an unbelievable point or return but taking a 12-minute timeout, I don't think it was fair play,

You can change the game around by winning an unbelievable point or by changing the rhythm,

I should've played more risky in that game but I was too passive and allowed her to dominate,

I'm happy to have played such a good game in the final. I played very solid today and I hope this will give me confidence for the rest of the season.

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.

For me, it's a great challenge to play against young Russians, ... With Vera, we never played each other before, but we know each other very well. It was very interesting to play and to see who's coming up and what kind of game she has.

I don't think there was one particular game that changed anything. I just don't think it was my day today.
