Elena Dementieva quotes:

Just look at Andy Roddick. He has the biggest serve on the men's tour and he's not the No. 1 because other parts of his game are not so good. I think it's more important to have the desire and the other parts of your game.

You don't have to be perfect, but you have to try hard. And I did all the time.

I would like to take revenge but I'm not looking for excuses for having lost to her
