“I think we all know how well she can really play. But to her credit, I thought she kept fighting until the end.” (Murphy Graeme)
“I felt like I was serving really well, especially in the second set, ... That gave me a lot of easy points. I got on top of her and didn't let her play the way she likes, and I tried to be really aggressive but at the same time not going for really crazy shots.” (Murphy Graeme)
“Some players prefer to play one point after another. I prefer to take more time. There's nothing you can do about it.” (Murphy Graeme)
“She's very good at picking her game up when she needs to. I have to give her all the credit with the way she served.” (Murphy Graeme)
If somebody says they really like my playing I say thanks a lot. (Murphy Graeme)
“I don’t follow other players or the tournaments they play. I have my own schedule and do my own thing. I never really think, 'Oh, I want to be or play like so-and-so.' I just like being myself” (Murphy Graeme)
“The first few games were a little bit tough getting used to the conditions, ... I haven't played a lot of matches. Then after a while you can really go after it. I feel a lot stronger in my arm. I move quite well. I don't think I have moved that well in quite a while.” (Murphy Graeme)
“Overall I'm happy to get through the match, but it definitely wasn't the best match I played,” (Murphy Graeme)
“The first match is never easy. You don't know what to expect,” (Murphy Graeme)

“I also want to play in the Olympics and would love to represent Russia there as well.” (Murphy Graeme)
“A couple of points in the third set made a difference to the end result, ... When I was 1-5 down, I played very relaxed and tied the score but at 5-all, she held her serve after she had a couple of lucky points and it turned her way. I should forget this loss because I had two good weeks in Russia and will take positive things from my game today.” (Murphy Graeme)
“I'm very disappointed I am not able to continue my play in Philadelphia. I was having a really good tournament and I'm sure it will still be an exciting final weekend. I just wish I could be a part of it.” (Murphy Graeme)
“I thought I played really well, ... I was in control for most of the match.” (Murphy Graeme)

“There were some matches this year where I lost a little concentration and focus and thought I played some stupid points,” (Murphy Graeme)
“She's a complete player. There's no big weakness in her game. I have to be ready for a tough match.” (Murphy Graeme)
“I haven't really seen much of how she plays. I've heard she's got a big, powerful game.” (Murphy Graeme)
“I hope to be able to play (the Gold Coast) in 2007, and will be doing everything possible in consultation with my doctors to be healthy enough to play this Australian Open.” (Murphy Graeme)
