After the match, Petra said, “It means everything. This is my second title and I hope now it will be easier for me. I really wanted to have the trophy again. It was definitely one of the best matches of my life, especially in such a big situation.”

Speaking to a young Bouchard at that time, she did sound quite mature given the stage where she was standing. She was graceful in her speech and stated, “I have to give full credit to my opponent.
“I think she played unbelievably and didn’t give me many opportunities to stay in the rally or do what I do. Sometimes your opponent just plays better than you, and that’s what happened today.”
