I'm just waiting for a wild card to play in the Australian Open . To face Anna will be a good test for me.
I'm not looking for any excuses. She was just too good today. I've had a very good start to my comeback and I will go home with my head up.
I'm not looking for any excuses, she was just too good today. I'm going home with my head up. This is a good start to my comeback. I don't think I played badly today, she was just too good. Being in the finals here in Tokyo really exceeded my expectations.

I just came out here the other day. I could already feel the atmosphere coming from the previous years. You don't know how good it feels. This surface, this stadium has been so good for me.
I've exceeded my own expectations and am happy to be playing good tennis once again.
It was probably one Russian too many. It used to be I had to play both Williams sisters and Lindsay Davenport, now it's the Russians. (But) I have surpassed all my expectations of my comeback and feel very good knowing I can go out there and play with the best players in the world.
It takes me a little while to read, but I just really like playing here. In the past I had really good results, so those memories are kicking in as well.
It's great to be back out there. When you hear applause, people are there wanting to see you. It's great. And I played some good points early on, and then you just get going.
It was a pretty impressive win. The first set was a bit tough. I guess that was because we haven't played before. I didn't feel good at the beginning -- I guess today I won with my heart. I feel great to be in the semifinals.
My life has been very good the last couple of years. I'm very comfortable, and this is really hard work,
I love coming back here, this stadium has been so good to me.
I feel definitely very good being in the finals again. I hadn't thought to make it this far....
It's really great to be back after all this time. I have very nice memories because I was the first female player to win the title here (in 2001). Hopefully these memories will inspire me and it will be a good week for me in this great event. I was always impressed with the modernity of Dubai and all that it has to offer.
