Kim said: "I constructed points very well today, I was very patient and waited for the opportunities to hit my winners. I thought I was very consistent. We had some great rallies, which were fun for us both.
"Compared to last year here, this year I was little more aggressive, didn't let [Svetlana] dominate points. It was very important not to start slow today like I did in a couple of previous matches, and I had to serve well, because she serves extremely well and if she got a break of serve, it would be very hard for me to get it back." WTA story
It was the third straight year in which Svetlana has reached the Warsaw final and lost. Svetlana said: "I lost to a very tough opponent today. I'm really happy to have reached the final. I didn't come into the court enough. Kim really pushed me and I was on the defensive most of the time. Maybe I gave her a little too much space today."
Kim now leads Svetlana 5-1 in career matches.
Meanwhile in Portugal, in the final of the Estoril Open, the first all-Chinese WTA singles final in WTA history, 22-year-old 6th-seeded # 48 Jie Zheng from Cheng Du, Si Chuan, China, defeated her compatriot, 8th seeded # 56 Na Li from Wuhan, Hubei, China, 6(5)-7, 7-5 retired when Na was forced to stop by a right thigh injury, which appears to be an adductor strain. As of this writing the WTA results page says "heat illness," but photos show that Na clearly retired due to a bad thigh injury.
Jie said: "I feel so sorry for Li Na, but it was a good match today and I look forward to Roland Garros." Reuters story
Jie now leads Na 3-0 in career matches; Jie is now 2-1 in career WTA singles finals, Na is 1-2.
