Just look at Andy Roddick. He has the biggest serve on the men’s tour and he’s not the No. 1 because other parts of his game are not so good. I think it’s more important to have the desire and the other parts of your game.

I just said to myself, She’s just like you, you know, she can be nervous.

You don’t have to be perfect, but you have to try hard. And I did all the time.

I would like to take revenge but I’m not looking for excuses for having lost to her.

I am working on it but I don’t thinking having a good serve is the most important thing. It is about a lot of things coming together that makes you a good player.

I know this girl. I think she has a difficult situation.

I have played Mary a couple of times before but right now she is a completely different player,

I'm extremely happy. Martina was always one of my favorite players. Now I like her even more.

It's really a great start to the year no matter whether it's an exhibition or not. I was trying to play my best and I really did it.

It was a close match and very emotional for both of us. I have had so many matches winning 7-6 in the third, so I know how it feels to be that close and when one point can decide the whole match that we play for almost three hours. It's a great challenge for me to play against someone who is younger, who has nothing to lose, who is from Russia.
