Martina Hingis: “There aren’t many places I can say I’m coming to for the first time in my 20 years of playing. And I really loved this tournament. I really enjoyed every moment. It’s just been a fantastic week.”

 

Flavia Pennetta: “We got a little bit tight in the end of the second set, but that’s normal in a final. It was just amazing to play doubles with Martina again. She’s a great partner and a great person.”
