Reaction following Serena Williams' 6-3, 6-0 victory over Simona Halep in the championship match of the WTA Finals in Singapore on Sunday.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: Simona Halep

"She played better, she played stronger than me today. She was stronger, I knew that it will be a different match because every day it is different, every day it is a new day. So I tried to stay there focussed and try everything I can but in the end I was very tired and I couldn't manage the match very well."

SOUNDBITE: Serena Williams

"It means a lot to me to win. I can't believe I am sitting here talking about winning the title. I am so excited to come through with the win, it feels really good."

SOUNDBITE: Serena Williams

"Well I was ready today. I thought I was ready the other day but she played so well, she did everything great. I knew that if I wanted to be competing and to be able to have a chance to win I need to play better as well, so that's what I did."
