"I'm a fighter....I didn't come all these miles to lose."
Serena Williams reflects on her stunning comeback against Kim Clijsters.

"She just started playing so much more aggressively and hardly made any unforced errors any more."
Kim Clijsters prefers to praise Serena Williams rather than blame herself after her semi-final defeat.

"I think I'm doing good....the only time I'm making errors is when I rush myself, but it's in my nature to play an aggressive game."
Venus Williams is in positive mood ahead of her Australian Open final against sister Serena.

"I could not take my opportunities - and with my physique that will always cost me dear against these strong players."

"I don't like to bring my work home."
Serena Williams won't be talking to sister Venus about their Australian Open final clash.
