Wonderful serving from Lucie there and a bhdtl winner to hold she leads 5-3 2nd set and now had 3MPS
on Vika's serve

Congratulations Safarova winning 64 63 over Azarenka!

 

[Hoergren]

Congrats to Safarova for her 64 63 win over Azarenka - well done

Safarova is so solid in every department except in the mental. She should have won much more to date. Late bloomer like Li Na.

Hope Vika addresses whatever injury she sustained before IW. She is physically frail. Prone to injuries.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

This is Lucie's biggest WTA title win and her 6th career title win
First time she has defeated Azarenka.Lucie will have a new ranking of No.11 on Monday.

Well done Lucie!!!

Nice win for Safrova. Really nice run from Vika with some really top quality opponents from the first round on. Signs are good for 2015 for Vika!

congrats Lucie...Zenka celebrated too soon after beating Venus.I think she was overzealous with her celebrations...really over the top.
A lot of players have always tried to rub a win in Venus face and ended up eating crow..the list is very long..
a young Svetlana was very disrespectful to Venus..
Radwanska
Pavulchenkova
Jankovic
Rezai...the list is endless

You've said this more than one time. Get over it. She didn't walk across the net and throw petals down below Venus' feet. Stop talking about disrespect. Vika has shown TONS of respect for the Williams sisters in the past. Players celebrate their points as a way to pump themselves up and keep their energy and motivation high.
