“They just had a little lower percentage of first serves. I'm a strong believer that the first serve is a weapon.”
Rachel Elkins
“Our hitting and attacking was strong and our serving was good for the most part. They served aggressively.”
Ruth Shields
“Northwest Christian served really aggressively and we struggled with our serve-receive game. After the first game, we did better, got more consistent with our serve and we were able to pass in our serve-receive game. That was our focus that got us the win.”
Jackie Sanchez
“I served very well in the first set, I held my serve and that was key just like yesterday. I won with my heart today. Winning the tiebreak gave me confidence.”
Martina Hingis
“Just wait until the next matches, I'll be even better. You have to have a high percentage of first serves otherwise these girls today are going to kill you. They're very aggressive and they attack right away.”
“Collins I think had a higher percentage of first serves. Much higher than the Mill Valley meet and the ground strokes, not bad for windy conditions.”
“I started with not putting enough first serves in and that gave her some opportunities on the second serve to step in and really play hard. I'm not very happy about that,”
Amelie Mauresmo
