"I'm so proud of my team ... They really competed hard and practiced so well during the week and they had a great chemistry. … In general, the big points were won by our team. I think everybody was really mentally tough, really..."


Mary Joe Fernandez Feb 08 2010 4:20 PM from USA Today

Svetlana Kuznetsova Feb 07 2010 6:00 AM from Tennis-X.com
