Final Quotes
Aravane Rezai, 2009 Commonwealth Bank Tournament of Champions champion:
"It's a great feeling to be here in the final. I'm very sorry for Marion that this happened. I'd prefer to win in a different way, but it's tennis, a lot of different things happen. The people here are so nice. I was really motivated to win here. I want to thank the sponsors of this tournament and Sony Ericsson, also all the volunteers, the fans who came to support us, the ballboys, the chair umpire, the linesmen... thank you all, you made this tournament great."

Marion Bartoli, 2009 Commonwealth Bank Tournament of Champions runner-up:
"I'm crying right now, but I'm so happy to be here. First of all I'd like to congratulate Aravane on the wonderful week she had. She played some great tennis. I have to thank one person - my dad. Thank you so much, daddy. My leg was hurting and I tried my best to carry on, but it was too much pain. I'm sorry I wasn't able to finish today. I'd like to thank Sony Ericsson for making this tour possible, and to Commonwealth Bank for this wonderful tournament."
