Quotes
Anna Chakvetadze, 2007 Ordina Open singles champion:
"When I was up 5-3 in the third set I was just thinking about how I lost my 5-0 lead in the first set, so I knew I had to hold serve. I knew Jelena would fight until the end, so it was important I won it right there at 5-3."
(on her perfect Tour singles final record)
"I'm just trying to play match by match; I don't really think about being in the final. Of course I want to win, but it's already good that I make finals. No pressure. I just like going out and playing... without rain!"
