I am proud to be the winner. HALEP

After the match, Simona commented

“It was a great feeling on court, but now I’m really tired. I had a lot of emotions before the match and was feeling blocked in my stomach. I was nervous because I really wanted to win this. As I’ve said many times, it’s a special event for me, and I just wanted to give everything I had, give my best to win this match and play well. I’m happy that we played a great match; both of us showed a great level of tennis, and I’m really proud to be the winner in the end.”

This is Simona’s 15th career title, the first on 2017. Time to assault the world no.1 rank?
