Gabriela Sabatini

GABRIELA SABATINI: I think I am feeling very good. My game is, you know, it is very good. I think I have improved a lot of things. Today was an okay match. I thought I didn't serve very well. Didn't put too many first serves in, and, you know, compared to the way I have been serving the last few weeks, which was very good. But I am fit. I am feeling very confident with my game, so it is just taking one match at a time and I think I have pretty good chances.

GABRIELA SABATINI: You know, I didn't have any doubt that she was going to come back and play good tennis because in tennis, I think the mental part has a lot to do and she has a very good mentality, very determined, you know, very confident of herself. Probably I felt how confident she felt with her game, that was the most impressive thing, you know, because I mean, for two years out of tournaments without playing any matches, you don't have the rhythm, even if you keep playing tennis, you just you are not playing matches and the rhythm sometimes goes off. It wasn't like that at all for her.

GABRIELA SABATINI: I think she is just worried about just playing tennis again, just I think she is enjoying, you know, being back on the Tour and she is going to try to do her best, anything, so she is going to try to win everything.

GABRIELA SABATINI: I think it is very good for women's tennis that Monica is back on the Tour, you know, it is exciting for everybody, for people, for us, and it is good to see her back.

GABRIELA SABATINI: Oh, sure, it does, but I think it is more interesting now.
