She is a solid player, the one to beat in tomorrow's final. I lost to a great player today. She is playing her best tennis. However, I wouldn't say that I am playing bad tennis. I am improving with every outing. I know there are certain areas in which I can improve.
Toward the end I just don't want to remember the other finals I played here and lost in the second set.
To beat Lindsay here in Indian Wells, it probably matters a little bit more than anything else.
I feel a quarter Indian.
And the '99 finals at the French - if I had won that one easily, no one would have talked about it.
No, because I think I have a reason to believe in myself and I think I'm also pretty confident about who I am and what I'm doing and it might be because I'm still at the top too.
I've always said I'm a good horse but I'm still an underdog.
The older you get, the more you learn.
Before I was the hunter. Now I'm the hunted.
I'm sure she wants revenge. I'll just try not to let that happen.
I did things I should not have done. But people make mistakes, especially at my age, when you feel you are so smart, but in fact you are an asshole.
I still speak Czech with my parents because I was born there.
We worked hard all season to get ourselves into this position, ... I was very happy to be part of this team and get them going. I knew when the guys lost the first set of doubles I had to step up and get us a lead.
We both knew what to expect from one another. I was watching her growing up and playing.
