I felt very confident about it because I knew she was under pressure. As they say, 'No guts, no glory', so I went for it and I got the result. Jana Novotna after her semi-final triumph over Martina Navratilova.

I had a great time. It's fun to be out there. Martina Navratilova, after losing the semi-final.

I don't think I felt any sympathy. I didn't feel sorry for her. I played an incredible match and I deserved to win. Novotna.

If you see Martina having a tough match and you are down, you say, 'Come on, get yourself together'. Steffi Graf, who went 4-1 down in the first set, after watching Navratilova lose.

She's got the talent. She's got the game. We've had lots of close matches. I never could figure out why she was unable to get beyond that (one previous Grand Slam final). But I guess she has figured it out now. Graf on Novotna.

I'll have to have a very solid serve, and I have to work on my return, which wasn't really good today. Graf on what she needs to do to beat Novotna.

I was trying to keep going, playing aggressive. But she played more aggressive. Conchita Martinez on Graf.

I hope people come to watch my racket do the talking. That's what I'm all about - just go out and try my best. Pete Sampras, men's No 1 seed and singles semi-finalist.
