Quotes

After a few good matches, I was really looking forward to this one, but nothing worked for me ... I struggled with my serve, my returns and my overall game.

- Kaia Kanepi, Globe and Mail

It was difficult to play her as she hit some very uncomfortable shots for me, very low balls

- Kaia Kanepi, Sky Sports

I am really delighted. It was my tactic to mix it up and it worked

- Kaia Kanepi, Sports Illustrated
