East West Bank Classic Presented by Herbalife Results for Sunday August 12th 2007

Nadia Petrova Quotes
I would say she just rips it off without event thinking. Comparing with any other players, it is the best forehand by far on tour. Her fitness coach did a great job with her. She is in good condition and lost some weight.

It was a very solid game from her today. It was about the break and she did it. I could not break her back. I was trying but it did not work out. She already has had some good results in previous grand slams.

She mixed it up well. You never knew what she was going to come with. You had to be very alert to read what was coming. Next week is another week and another tournament and only get better.

Ana Ivanovic Quotes
I tried really because it is important to stay focused and play your game. It was tough sometimes because I had some muscle pain form yesterday. It was tough for me to get going. I tried to relax and tried to win every point. I tried to take my chances and to be aggressive and to finish this match in two sets.

I started quite slow at least felt like that. She was serving quite well. She had chances and I had chances.

(On Novak Djokovic) We are really good friends we have known each other each other for 14 or 15 years old. I enjoy hanging with him. He had an amazing win. He beat number four, three and two. I think he did an unbelievable job. It was an amazing day for us. I knew right before I went on the court and there was a little bit of pressure on me. We used to play hide and seek when we were smaller. We would play tennis and then we would play hide and seek.

I could not ask for a better start. Coming into his tournament they gave me a wild card and I was very happy with that. Coming here I tried to taker it step by step and that is how I get the best results.

At the moment in women's tennis, anyone can beat anyone. This is probably the best time in my career and get the best (most) out of it. I am trying to enjoy. I am having lots of fun on the court. I enjoy being on the court and I try to show that. I feel great and want to show that.

Rene Stuubs Quotes
What didn't work well today. We have had some really tough matches. We came out this week really, really read., We did not play well last week. We practiced really hard for the week.

We went the whole week like that - really energetic. We were honest with each other at the beginning of the week of what we needed to do. I served well each week. It is a lot of pressure to make the return. You want to make sure you go with the right choice.

(On Ana) I think she has massive potential. To be a grand slam champion you have to want to win every match. This is becoming more and more of a possibility in her mind. She has a huge forehand and a good serve.
