Final Quotes

Magdalena Rybarikova: “I was just thinking all the time to stay relaxed and play my game, and I think I played very well today. I was trying not to think about this being a final, and I was also trying not to think about playing such a good player. I was very relaxed – if I’m not relaxed, it’s tough to play my game.

 

“My confidence was lower when I came here and I didn’t expect I’d win the title, but I was very relaxed when I came here and I played very well all week.

 

“With the time difference it has been tough to watch the Olympics, but I watched a bit of Serena today. It’s amazing how she played this week. It’s not possible how she was playing. I was thinking it’s not possible to win a final 60 61. She’s amazing. I also watched some Slovak athletes in other sports. I was mostly reading about everything in the news. I love the Olympics and was sad I couldn’t play – but if I was there I couldn’t be here, so something bad for something good.”

 

Chang Kai-Chen: “I’m so happy we won here in the first time we’ve played together. I hope Shuko and I can play more in the future. I’ve had wonderful memories from my first experience in Washington and I hope to be back next year.”
