Quotes
Gisela Dulko, 2007 Forest Hills Sony Ericsson WTA Tour Classic presented by Commerce Bank singles champion:
"This is very important to me. My goal this year was to win one tournament, and I now have two, so it's a great feeling. And especially to do it in New York is wonderful - I love this city. This club is special, too. The US Open was here and the stadium has a lot of history. Guillermo Vilas won here, and he was an idol in tennis in Argentina. So I'm really proud to win the title here at Forest Hills. I'm looking forward to the US Open. I hope to continue to play like this next week."
