What value does this victory have for you? Jelena Dokic: The next title. It wasn't an easy victory. Dementieva played strongly, but I was in better form and did not make mistakes. When did you realize, that you had won? Jelena Dokic: Dementieva is a persistent player, therefore, even when it seemed, that the victory was close, I did not relax. Dementieva could have taken the initiative and then who knows who could have won. Female tennis is turning towards athleticism. So you should spend more time in training centres? Jelena Dokic: Certainly, but I try to do it not to much, all is good in a measure. Today you had problems with the first serve. Are you ready to face more serious contenders? Jelena Dokic: Serve has no crucial importance. Today I served strongly enough. Dementieva's returns were good. She practically attacked my first serves, therefore it gave an impression, that I have problems with serve. Actually it wasn't so. |
