Women's Doubles – Final
A Medina Garrigues (ESP)/Y Shvedova (KAZ) d. [PR] H Chan (TPE)/Y Chan (TPE) 76(4) 62


i• Anabel Medina Garrigues and Yaroslava Shvedova endured first set challenges from the weather and from opponents Chan Hao-Ching and Chan Yung-Jan on Sunday en route to winning the Family Circle Cup doubles title.i
i• Medina Garrigues and Shvedova improved to 3-1 in WTA finals, having been runners-up at Charleston in their debut together in 2012 and having won Florianopolis in 2013 and 2014. This was Medina Garrigues' 23rd WTA doubles title and Shvedova's 10th.i

i• The Chans fell to 1-2 in WTA finals, with their victory coming at Shenzhen in 2013.i



Anabel Medina Garrigues: "We have been trying to play all year together, and we feel like every tournament we've played, we've improved," Medina Garrigues said. "In Australia we didn't play so well, but we kept going. In Indian Wells we won one round. In Miami we had match points in the quarterfinals, and lost. And here we won the tournament. We are seeing that we are improving, so we are very happy.i

i"We are good friends. We always have fun and communicate very well. We try to get the best things out of our matches and improve for the next matches. We will keep on working, and hopefully in the coming tournaments we'll get better and better."i

Yaroslava Shvedova: "We were told it was going to rain, and if we stopped, we would have to come back on another court," Shvedova said. "So we were happy to stay on the center court, even though it was raining in the beginning. I think the whole set it was drizzling, but we didn't complain. We had to finish because I have a flight to catch later today!"i



Women's Singles – Final
i[14] A Petkovic (GER) d. J Cepelova (SVK) 75 62

i• Years of injuries may have held her back, but they haven't kept her down, not one bit - former World No.9 Andrea Petkovic came full circle at the Family Circle Cup this year, putting all of those struggles behind her to capture the third and biggest WTA title of her career.i

i• Since breaking into the Top 10 in 2011, it has been a rough few years for Petkovic - back and ankle injuries pretty much ruined her 2012 season, and a knee injury kept her out for the first chunk of the 2013 season. She nearly fell out of the Top 200 at one point, falling as low as No.192 the week of October 8, 2012, and just over a year ago she went into the Miami fortnight down at No.177.i

i• But some very encouraging results last summer - most notably finals in Nürnberg and Washington DC - proved Petkovic wasn't done yet. She came into Charleston this week ranked No.40 in the world, and now, after six grueling rounds, her first Premier-level title - her other two came at Internationals.i

i• For Cepelova, leaving without the title doesn't mean she's leaving empty-handed.i

i• It was truly a breakthrough week for the young Slovak, beginning with her massive upset over Williams in the second round (which wasn't just her first win over a World No.1 - it was her first win over any Top 15 player).i
i• She had also never been to a WTA semifinal before - let alone to a final (and a Premier at that).i

Andrea Petkovic: "When I was down facing set point, I just told myself, 'You gotta let loose and you gotta relax a little bit because otherwise you're not going to win this match,'" Petkovic said. "And so I relaxed, and I started hitting the ball harder and deeper, and I started moving better, and I started serving better.i

i"That's just how it is sometimes. You just relax and all of a sudden things come together."i

i"I don't know why but I just sort of broke down," Petkovic said. "I was happy. Normally I don't cry when I'm sad - I cry when I'm happy, strangely, so it's weird, but I don't know. I was just so relieved and proud that I've come back from all these injuries, and I never thought I would play in the finals of the big tournaments again, and so I was just proud and happy and everything just sort of came together."i

i"It's a little sad that he couldn't come this year, but I'm just very proud of him and everything he achieved," Petkovic said of her dad. "Coming from Yugoslavia, where it was communism back then, it wasn't easy to get out of it, and he just gave me all the chances that I took in my life, being educated in Germany, being the person I am today, and all the opportunities in tennis I wouldn't have without him and without him going to college here in the United States and learning the western way of living.i

i"It's funny how destiny plays out sometimes, how I've come to reach the final of such a big tournament here in South Carolina, where my father went to college. It's nice. It's an honor. It's a blessing."i
