Medina Brings Funk in WTA Canberra Title Win

"At 0-6 I felt like I didn't want to stay on court," Medina Garrigues said. "But then I relaxed and I said to myself 'OK Anabel, play like you can and if you lose it doesn't matter.' Then I start to play better. When you are seeded No. 1, every other player wants to beat you. I have had some tough matches so that makes it good to win. I am very happy but very tired also."

Medina Garrigues has been cleaning up at the lower-tier events over the past year, winning the Tier III event in Strasbourg last May and the Tier IV event in Palermo.

Cho drops to 0-3 in career finals.

"I am disappointed because I had a chance to win the tournament," Cho said. "But it was a good match and I felt like the crowd was lifting me. It is disappointing, but this is still a good result for me to take the top seed to three sets like this. I don't think I was nervous, but in the third set I was tired and I started to lose confidence."

In the doubles final No. 3 seeds Marta Domachowska and Roberta Vinci defeated No. 4 seeds Claire Curran and Liga Dekmeijere 7-6(5), 6-3.
