Quotes
Vera Zvonareva, 2006 Cincinnati singles champion:
"I was fighting for every point." It was a long time since I last played her, and I didn't know what to expect so I just figured it out on the court. I had a few less errors than her too so that helped. But I'd like to congratulate Katarina for reaching the final, she really did great this week.”
Katarina Srebotnik, singles runner-up:
"She's been playing unbelievable since Birmingham. But I won the most games in one set from her this week, 6-4, so I'm happy about that. We play in the first round next week in Stanford, so I hope to get revenge then!" |
