Final Quotes
Mona Barthel: "When I came here I wasn't expecting to win the title at all. I was just taking it round by round, hoping to win the first round, then hoping to win the second round, and so on. When I got to the final I knew it would be tough, because Sara had such an amazing year last year and is playing so well – she just doesn't give anything away."

Sara Errani: "Mona serves so well, plays so well from the baseline and physically moves so well – I just couldn't beat her today. I usually like to have more time to place the ball where I want but I was on a limit today, particularly on my serve. I tried my best, but she was just unbeatable today."
