Famous quotes by Lindsay Davenport:

"I don't enjoy being in Europe for weeks on end, so I just skip it."
"We get criticized for showing no personality, then we get penalized when we do."
"Today was the best match I've played since Wimbledon,"
"It's the kind of tennis I want to play. I felt like I was really aggressive and yet I could move well. I was consistent, hitting the ball hard. I'm very excited about that."
"Watching her play a little bit the first few rounds, I thought Venus looked like she was playing well."
"I mean, when she's playing consistent and she can make more balls than she's missing, she's playing tough."
"I was consistent and hitting the ball very hard. I was very excited about that. Today was the best match I've played since Wimbledon (where she lost to Venus Williams in the final), the kind of tennis I want to play."
"It's extremely difficult, but we couldn't have it any other way,"
"That's our relationship. We're both very motivated, strong-willed people. It takes a huge effort and sacrifice on both our parts to make everything work, and it's always a work in progress and a discussion and everything that goes with that."
"I felt like today was the best I've played here so far this year. I'm really happy to play well and get some momentum going. I want to win this again."
"You always see people coming back to the sport, and I've always thought, 'Gosh, when you're done playing, wouldn't you just want to stay at home?'"
"I couldn't imagine being from a country where all the pressure is on a particular player."
