Quotes:
Safina
"You can't imagine how happy I am. I
can't find words to explain how I feel right now. It's by far
the best day of my career. I played well, took my chances and
beat a Top 5 player. It's just too much in one day."
"The conditions were totally different
here compared to Melbourne. It was really hot over there and it
was hard to move and stay focused."
Mauresmo
"I did not play at my best today. I
was not aggressive enough and my shots weren't working for me.
Dinara took advantage of that and she played well. I have seen
that she has improved a lot especially mentally and focused
throughout the whole match."
