« 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 title. I was so disappointed after last year’s final, but this year it’s a much different feeling. Obviously I’m really excited about this right now. What worked best for me today was my forehand. And my return was really helping today too. I think I hit it very well. »

  9. Man, that smile on her face says it all! So happy for her because she deserves it and you could really see her hard work paying off in this tournament. Very good wins. I think I speak on behalf of all Maria Kirilenko fans when I say we are extremely happy to see you win your 6th WTA title. It’s been a loooonnnng time, since your 5th in 2008. Especially for us fans supporting your every match every step of the way. Now this is a great birthday gift!!

  10. In the Tiebreak, when Maria was behind the Commentators said “Kirilenko has Steel” And she justified that statement! Fed Cup next, and Maria is the Team #1 player in Singles

    Success Maria and Team!
