What a remarkable week for Monica Niculescu. The world no.75 came from nowhere to reach the final and wni her first career title i nBrazil.
It took almost hours to achieve this feat to comment “It’s unbelievable,” Niculescu said. “This means a lot, I was so nervous and wanted to win this so much. My game was not brilliant today, but it shows that in tennis if you keep fighting you can manage to win.”
Olga Punchkova, that upset Venus Williams in the semifinals, was quite disappointed by her performance to end the match with a double faults.
