    SOUNDBITE (English) Petra Kvitova, beat beat Maria Sharapova 6-3 7-6 (7-3):(being in final after losing twice in group stage)

    "It's very weird, I have to say. Yesterday I was talking about my season, and it's still not over yet. But I'm happy for that for sure.

    SOUNDBITE (English) Martina Hingis:(on the match)

    "I felt very fortunate to have Sania on my side because she's an incredible positive person. You know, like when I get myself down. And in the last couple days I wasn't feeling.... I'm not really a morning person, so she was out there and kept fighting and kept keeping me up there. That's why we were able to come back. Once I felt better, that's when everything start to click. They're a great team, so..."
