“I’m happy to have won my 22nd WTA title — it’s a great feeling. I’m happy how the final went today. I served well and pushed her around the court, and I really dictated the match,” said Wozniacki.
Vinci added: “I tried to play aggressively like always but made a lot of mistakes. It’s tough to play like that against Caroline because she puts everything back in the court, and it was tough for me to stay in the rallies today. But I’m happy with my week and Caroline just played much better than me.”
