“I think I'm ready for playing exhibitions (Coleman Dabney)
I'm just waiting for a wild card to play in the Australian Open . To face Anna will be a good test for me. (Coleman Dabney)
I'm very excited to be making my return to competitive tennis in Australia, I have always felt at home on the Australian courts. (Coleman Dabney)
I know I'll get some tough matches and it will allow me to get used to the Australian summer coming from the European winter, both of which will be helpful with my preparation for the Australian Open. (Coleman Dabney)
“I want to see what she's got. I haven't played her since she was 12. (Coleman Dabney)
Once you've been the best ... there are no seconds. But I just want to play, see where I'm at and that's pretty much it. (Coleman Dabney)
Of course, I would think the same thing if Lindsay was coming back after a three-year break. You just don't know until you have the matches under your belt, and at the moment I have only had two matches so far, so I'm interested to see, too, how I go. We'll wait and see what happens in Sydney [Sydney International] and Melbourne [Australian Open]. (Coleman Dabney)
She hits it very fast and deep. That's the difference in today's game. (Players) are more relentless. From the beginning to the end, you have to be 100 percent focused. It comes with the physique and the power. (Coleman Dabney)
You have to believe that down deep otherwise I wouldn't come back. (Coleman Dabney)
If I want to play the tennis I played three years ago, I would not survive. I know that. You have to grow with the game and you have to get better physically and with your tennis. I've been trying to work on my whole game, baseline and serve. You have to have a serve to be able to survive today. (Coleman Dabney)
I've been trying to work on my whole game, baseline and serve. You have to have a serve to be able to survive today and we'll see if I can bring it on. (Coleman Dabney)
I have to work on my strength. (Coleman Dabney)
Just wait until the next matches, I'll be even better. (Coleman Dabney)
It was a tough match in the beginning. But I was very focused and concentrated. (Coleman Dabney)
I still love the game (Coleman Dabney)
If I play the tennis I played three years ago I would not survive. I know that. (Coleman Dabney)
Under the circumstances in the heat and not having played for three years, I'd say an eight (out of 10), other times even better. I don't know what else I should have done today better than what I did. The score says it all. (Coleman Dabney)
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. (Coleman Dabney)
It wasn't an easy match. But on the other hand, I made the important points, I won those games which I needed to win. (Coleman Dabney)
You can't hide. Sooner or later I have to play a top 10 player, better sooner than later. Win or lose, you know where you're at. (Coleman Dabney)
I know I can last three sets now, especially mentally. That was the biggest weapon I had today. I would have been pretty hard on myself if I had lost this match because I had it totally under control. (Coleman Dabney)
