Final Quotes

Maria Kirilenko: “I feel great – to win a title is always special, but it’s even more pleasure when you win such a tough one. It was tough. Sabine played very well. I’m very happy to win this.”

Sabine Lisicki: “I hadn’t been in a final in a while, so even though it’s a tough one to lose, I still feel very good about my week. I played some good tennis here. I was working so hard in the off-season and it’s nice to see it’s already paying off, especially since we’re just at the start of the year.”
