I was really encouraged by how the first set went, ... and at the same time, I got a really tight set under my belt. You get nerves whenever a match gets that close, so it was nice to experience that again.
More Quotes from Lindsay Davenport:
I'm never one that necessarily plays their best right off the bat. It took a little while to settle into the conditions and how Rika plays, but I do feel I started to improve some things in the second set.Lindsay Davenport
It was the kind of tennis I wanted to play. Even a few balls that I missed, I thought I struck the ball well, better than the other nights. I knew that she liked to dictate play so I was trying to overpower her and hit the ball hard and not let her have a lot of time.
Lindsay Davenport
The balls were definitely coming a little bit harder and deeper, ... She wasn't really allowing me to be inside the baseline as much as I was in the first set. I didn't play a great game to get broken, but overall I got it back together at the end and obviously I'm happy to come out with a victory.
Lindsay Davenport
I just hope I can get better as the tournament goes on.
Lindsay Davenport
It just came down to the one break. I had my chance to go for the break in the third, and to get back even in the last game, and I just didn't win those couple of points today. So you know, I didn't start the match playing well, but I was able to turn that around and start to play better and played well at the end of the second set. And even the third set I played okay.
Lindsay Davenport
It felt great tonight playing. It was so funny, I was really concerned yesterday, and then today I wake up and it did really well. I felt like I didn't have any limitations.
