NASDAQ-100 OPEN


March 21, 2002


Eleni Daniilidou


KEY BISCAYNE, FLORIDA

THE MODERATOR: First question, please.

Q. How do you feel beating Anna Kournikova tonight?

ELENI DANIILIDOU: Great. Good feeling. I played really good. I felt good on the court. I really press, and I play my game. Finally, everything -- it was all right. And finally the results came.

Q. Seemed like the crowd was really behind Anna. Did that bother you at all?

ELENI DANIILIDOU: No. I knew it from the beginning anyway. I mean, she's a great player, she's a big name. Anyway, I have some, let's say, Greek friends outside who really help me. And I was positive in the court, but Anna make more mistake in the match. And when she make the mistake, I was there and I finish the point.

Q. Well, I will say that you could be the next Anna Kournikova in looks. You're very pretty. So, I do believe you beat Anna Kournikova twice: On the field, and being very beautiful, too.

ELENI DANIILIDOU: I mean, as I said before, I played really good today and I played my game and I was every point fighting almost. Almost, except two, three games, I lose concentration. But in the first set I felt a little bit my legs and I probably pull a little bit the muscle. I mean, I'm looking forward for the next match.

Q. What follows now?

ELENI DANIILIDOU: Jennifer Capriati is the next one. I know I just played -- we just played together in Australia and was pretty tough match and good match. I know she's anyway big player, and I'm looking forward to play.

Q. Good luck.

ELENI DANIILIDOU: Thanks a lot.

Q. Could you tell she was getting frustrated out there?

ELENI DANIILIDOU: Sorry?

Q. Could you tell that Anna was getting a little frustrated out there?

ELENI DANIILIDOU: Probably, yeah. Probably. Maybe she feel a little press, I mean she's playing in the country of here. I think it's normal. But as I say in the beginning, I mean, I was there and finally she make more mistake than me. And it was some really close point, and anyway I was probably a little bit more positive, can be. And fighting too much.
