Quotes
Ana Ivanovic, 2007 Qatar Telecom German Open singles champion:
"This week has been amazing for me; I've beaten some great players and today against Svetlana was just fantastic. This gives me lots of confidence for Roland Garros. But I don't really want to set any goals for myself. I just want to take it day by day, and match by match, because anything can happen. There are so many good players out there, so I am not going to put any pressure on myself after this."
Svetlana Kuznetsova, 2007 Qatar Telecom German Open singles runner-up:
"I'm obviously very disappointed with how I played today; I was a little tired and my shots weren't going where I wanted them to go. But Ana played well. I have to say that this week I had a lot of pluses and one big minus."
