Jana Novotna

JANA NOVOTNA: Well, I just finished my match, so, not quite. But hopefully, tomorrow or whenever I have to play, I will be ready, yes. I am looking forward to that match, very much, yes. So hopefully, I will play well, she will play well and we can compete on a high level.

JANA NOVOTNA: Oh, a long time ago. Can't even remember where was it exactly, but I can't tell you, really. Have to look it up.

JANA NOVOTNA: Yes, I have been playing very, very well during the whole tournament perhaps today's matche was a little bit difficult; otherwise I am very happy.

JANA NOVOTNA: I don't know. I didn't feel so much comfortable. I never played this girl before so maybe perhaps that was one of the reasons. Anyway, I feel very good.

JANA NOVOTNA: Well, I always felt that, you know, I have the game to play against her, because not too many players these days can serve and volley, or can -- they cannot mix up the game, so hopefully, I will be able to do that and I think it also will depend how well Monica will handle it; how well she will handle my approaches and, you know, return of serve, so I hope and I believe that I have the game to beat her and as I said, I hope I feel well and we both play well.

JANA NOVOTNA: Yes, about. Except I would say the little disadvantage will be that Monica is a left-hander, so left-hander return of serve will be a little harder. She can always push me a little wide on that court, but as I said, I will have some return her serves and hope I can handle that.
