SANEX CHAMPIONSHIPS

Jelena Dokic

JELENA DOKIC: Yeah, it was good. You know, it's always good to win a match at The Championships. She played well this year. It's a little bit of a faster surface, so it was a little bit harder to adjust. I haven't been here for that long. But, you know, the first set was very tight. I shouldn't have let her get back in, but I did. She played well to get to the tiebreaker. It was a good match for me to get through, winning straight sets.

JELENA DOKIC: A little bit. I had a day or two off. I didn't practice very much. You know, I was a little bit injured after how much I've been playing, and tired. I thought it was a good idea.

JELENA DOKIC: Well, you have to try not to let the occasion get to you. You've just got to treat it as a normal tournament. You know, it's my first time. It was really good for me to play, especially to win the first round.

JELENA DOKIC: Well, I mean, I think we've seen a few complaints already this week. You know, it's something -- it's a fast surface. I mean, I'm sure everyone makes mistakes. No one's perfect. You get a bad call. She thought she got a few also. You just have to forget about it.
