Australian Ashleigh Barty commented on her victory over German Julia Goerges in Birmingham.
“It’s hard to imagine a better opponent than the final. We have been friends for a long time. We had a great week in both singles and doubles.
I had to demonstrate a very active game, because it was worth giving Yulia to join the rally, she immediately punished me. I had to make a lot of effort, but we played at the highest level. I will remember this day for a long time.
I have no words. I almost burst into tears after the match, because Julia found special words. I am glad that I shared this moment with her. I still did not realize that I became the first racket of the world. My career is simply unbelievable, “the WTA press service quoted Barty as saying.
