Final Quotes
Andrea Petkovic: “I don’t know why but I just sort of broke down. I was happy. Normally I don’t cry when I’m sad – I cry when I’m happy, strangely, so it’s weird, but I don’t know. I was just so relieved and proud that I’ve come back from all these injuries, and I never thought I would play in the finals of the big tournaments again, and so I was just proud and happy and everything just sort of came together.”
Anabel Medina Garrigues: “We are good friends. We always have fun and communicate very well. We try to like get the best things out of our matches and improve for the next matches. We will keep on working, and hopefully in the coming tournaments we’ll get better and better.”
