Final Quotes

Maria Sharapova: “She was doing a lot of things better in the first set, and she deserved to win the first set, but I hung in there. It was important to get that break, and the third set came down to a few points, really. I’m just happy that I managed to get it in three.”

 

Ana Ivanovic: “She had some great comebacks. She got back the balls that I thought weren’t coming over the net. That’s why she’s where she is, and that’s why she’s such a great champion.”
