It's really hard with this weather. You just do whatever you need to. Unfortunately, with the wind you cannot play the beautiful game.
aggressive energy extremely feeling fighting hard hot overall played recover today
It was extremely hot out there today and very hard to recover after long points, ... I was feeling like I was a little out of energy and a little uncoordinated during some points. Overall I played well but I think I played too defensively. I should have been more aggressive and fighting for every point.
happen hard wonderful worked
It's a wonderful feeling, ... I have worked so hard for this to happen and now it's come true.
bad both fought great hard points stuck
We both were on and off, ... We both had some great points and we both had some bad - a lot of unforced errors. But we both fought hard and stuck to the end.
badly court difficult happens matter strength time win
I now know that no matter what happens out there, how badly I play or how badly I feel, I can still find the strength in me and win it. When I have a difficult time on court again, I will probably think of this final.
ignore side tried
I just tried to ignore him completely. I didn't look at his side once.
best energy game points spend
I just wanted to get used to the surface, and I don't want to spend so much energy here, ... I'll try to play my best game and keep the points short.

I really dominated my games. She played a few good points ... I put so much pressure on here, I ended up with the match quite easy.
best far glad hold pull quite tennis thinking together
I really wasn't thinking I would get far this week. But I'm quite glad I could pull myself together and play my best tennis and be able to hold a trophy.
best difficult finish matches maybe stage sure time
I really had a difficult time today. Maybe it has to do with all the matches I have played. Energy-wise I wasn't in the best of shape. At one stage in the match I wasn't really sure if I was able to finish it.
chances cleared gave head mistakes move simply
I just feel like I simply gave it away. I had all the chances in the first set...I mean, there's nothing I can do about it now. I can just go through my mistakes and get my head cleared from all this and just move forward.
