Final Quotes
Errani: "In the first set the ball was
much more live and the points were going much quicker,
and I just played an incredible set. Even in the second
set until 2-0 for me, 15-40 on her serve, I was in
control, playing very aggressively. But the ball started
getting heavier and the rallies were getting much
tougher, and also she started to play much better. It
got very difficult at the end.
"I'm so happy I
closed it out. Carla was playing really well. I'm even
happier because it's my first time defending a WTA
title. I love this tournament - it's a really special
tournament for me."
