French Open women's doubles triumph 'amazing'

Monday, June 08 2015 by SNTV
  • Intro:

    Lucie Šafářová makes sure she leaves Roland Garros with at least one winner's trophy after the Czech left-hander and Bethanie Mattek-Sands claim the women's doubles title; less than 24 hours after Šafářová lost to Serena Williams in the singles final.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Bethanie Mattek-Sands (right) with Lucie Safarova, defeated Casey Dellacqua and Yaroslava Shvedova 3-6, 6-4, 6-2:

    (Q. Not a bad week here for either of you I think it's fair to say. You guys been feeding off of each other's winning?)

    BETHANIE MATTEKSANDS: "I mean, it was it's been a whirlwind, but I have been here almost three weeks because I got here pretty early before the tournament started. What an amazing event. I mean, really, to win it with Mike and then win it with Lucie after the Australian Open, it's been so much fun. We have had a lot of fun in the locker room..."

    LUCIE SAFAROVA: "It's amazing."

    BETHANIE MATTEKSANDS: "On and off the court we are still soaking it all in."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Lucie Safarova (left) with Bethanie Mattek-Sands, defeated Casey Dellacqua and Yaroslava Shvedova 3-6, 6-4, 6-2:

    (Q. Lucie, was it difficult to recover from yesterday's disappointment (in the singles final)?)

    "Of course I was a little bit sad, but it was exciting for me to be here in the finals. I have had some great wins throughout those two weeks. So I was on one side a little bit sad, but also really happy about my game here. I was actually excited about today's final. I was very pumped to at least get one title out of those two. I'm really happy it happened."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Bethanie Mattek-Sands (right) with Lucie Safarova, defeated Casey Dellacqua and Yaroslava Shvedova 3-6, 6-4, 6-2:

    (Q . So two down; maybe two more to go. Are you going for the Grand Slam)

    BETHANIE MATTEKSANDS: "I just want to drink champagne out of this trophy, and then we will work our way to the next one. Actually I want to go home before I think about playing tennis anymore.
    No, we are taking it one match at a time. Really that's the only way you can go about it."

    LUCIE SAFAROVA: "Yeah. It's already amazing we did two in a row."

    BETHANIE MATTEKSANDS: "We are excited about it. Obviously we are going to go forward and get back out on the practice court at some point and get on the grass and go for it there, too."
