Final Quotes
Serena Williams: “I knew she had had a lot of big wins and a lot of momentum going into this match. She also had nothing to lose out there, so I knew it wasn’t going to be an easy match for me today.
“I knew I had to play better today than last night. With that in mind, I just tried to do that.”
Sorana Cirstea: “It’s been a really positive week, and I’m going to take everything that’s been going well with me to the next tournament. I think I’ve made great steps in the past weeks – I’ve played semis, quarters, finals here – so I’m looking forward to everything coming up and also the US Open.”
