Final Quotes
Elena Dementieva, 2010 Medibank International Sydney singles champion:
“I’m very satisfied with the way I was playing today and the whole week. That’s what I was really looking for coming here, playing aggressively and trying to put a lot of pressure on my opponents. It’s great to play against the best players in the world, especially going into a Grand Slam. It was a great experience and it’ll help me next week at the Australian Open.”

Serena Williams, 2010 Medibank International Sydney singles runner-up:
“She played well, and I made about 1002 unforced errors. I feel I have enough matches under my belt though. Even though I didn’t play great today, I feel like I can play much better.”

Cara Black, 2010 Medibank International Sydney doubles champion:
“We’re really excited and pumped up about winning our first two tournaments of the year. Now we’re just looking forward to going to the Australian Open because we can’t ask for any better preparation. We’ll have the day off tomorrow and enjoy the win. I think we’ll do a bit of shopping and relax.”
