Final Quotes
Babos: “I was actually surprised because it was my first final and I wasn’t nervous or tight. I just tried to play my tennis and stay aggressive. I was also trying to keep my serve all the time, and she didn’t have a break point, which was really positive for me. Then as soon as I had a chance on her serve I played a good point or hit a winner when I really needed it.
“I had some big wins this week, like Sara Errani, who is a great player, and the toughest battle of the week for me. I’m so happy with how I played this week.
“I’m so glad to make it. This is a really new feeling. It feels amazing.”
