Belarusian tennis player Viktoryja Azaranka — who has been ranked world’s racket No. 1 by Women’s Tennis Association for several months in a row — won the final of the China Open on Sunday beating Russian Maria Sharapova 6:3, 6:1.
In Beijing, Azaranka won her 13th title and 5th this year!
“I was doing the right things, making sure I didn't let Maria play the game she likes, always being in control and dominating," Azarenka said. "Of course it wasn't possible for me to do that every single point, but for the most part I was trying to keep up with her rhythm, and when I had the chance just try to step it up and be in control myself. I tried to take that opportunity and move forward,” Azaranka noted in an interview with WTA.
“As for her mistakes, I'm not really looking for them, but I'm looking to provoke them, looking to make them happen. She's not just going to stay there and miss - it's something maybe I've done to make her miss those balls.
“To win the China Open is a dream for me, because I've never been able to do so well here - so to overcome that and win such a big title at the end of the year is just incredible. I'm really happy I came and I conquered here,” she said.
“I have two more tournaments to play, about 10 more matches. I'm looking forward to maximizing the potential in all of them. I'm really happy that in the end of the year I still have that determination I had in the beginning of the year, that desire to go out there and show my best tennis and win.”
