Final Quotes

Serena Williams, 2011 Bank of the West Classic singles champion:

“There are still shots I’m not going for and not making that I know I can make once I get more confident and more match play. I’ll be able to make those. It’s encouraging to me that I can do more, I can do better.”

Victoria Azarenka, 2011 Bank of the West Classic doubles champion:

“Last year I was able to win the singles title here at the Bank of the West Classic last year and now doubles. We had a great week and look forward to playing again with Maria.”

Maria Kirilenko, 2011 Bank of the West Classic doubles champion:

“First, I want to wish Victoria a happy birthday. She is a great doubles partner. We had a great week at the tournament and hope we can come back and win this title again.”
