Final Quotes

Hsieh Su-Wei: “I’m very happy to play so well in singles this season. But even though I’ve done well in singles, I’m going to keep playing doubles too, even more actually – my sister, who is 19 years old, is young and needs my help, so I’m bringing her to WTA tournaments with me. She’s improving fast.”

Laura Robson: “After I won the second set and led 3-0 in the third, she started playing well again and made the rallies longer, while I totally ran out of energy. I kept fighting but just wasn’t able to hit my shots as well as I had earlier in the match. But the more matches you play the more experience you get, and to play in a really tough final like this one in Guangzhou is a big experience for me.”
