Tennis / Wimbledon '94: Quotes of the day

I think today was the best performance of my life. I'm just proud of the way that I handled it. I'm happy I was able to produce my best tennis on Centre Court at Wimbledon against Martina Navratilova, the legend. Gigi Fernandez after her semi-final defeat.

I wanted one more chance and I'm there. This is what I dreamed about. This is what I wanted - to go out in style. Win or lose, I'll be going out in style. I'm going to enjoy the moment. Navratilova.

I didn't want it to end after two sets. I was having so much fun. Today was a great example of how to play great grass-court tennis from both of us. Fernandez.

I'm happy that I fought the whole match. I was just a bit unlucky. She played a little better at the end, I guess. Lori McNeil after losing an enthralling three-set contest against Conchita Martinez.

It does not worry me at all. I will try to play my best. Beating Lori has really helped my confidence. I have nothing to lose and I will really go for it. Martinez on having to face Navratilova in her first Grand Slam final tomorrow.
