i(WC) Zhang Shuai (CHN) d. (Q) Vania King (USA) 76(1) 61

i• Zhang Shuai beat Vania King in straight sets to capture her first WTA title at the Guangzhou Open on Saturday.i
i• She is the fifth Chinese player ever to win a WTA title
i• Before this week, Zhang's best WTA result was a semifinal showing right here in 2010 - now she walks away with her first WTA title.i
i• Fifth Chinese player ever to win a WTA title: After Li Na (who has seven WTA titles), Zheng Jie (who has four), Yan Zi and Sun Tiantian (who each have one).i

Zhang Shuai: "I'm not a person who often gets excited, but today I feel really happy," Zhang said after the match. "This is the biggest moment of my career. I look at this like a new starting point, not a final destination.i

i"I saw the tournament listed out the nine champions in their history on the giant promotional ads at center court. I saw them every day when I was going to the practice court, since the first day I got here. I asked myself, 'Could I be one of them? Could I be the 10th champion here?' At that time, I didn't think it was possible, but I've beaten some of those nine champions before, and that gave me a lot of confidence. I've had many chances to win WTA titles before, but I just wasn't confident enough.i

i"All those days, every time I passed by that big poster, I told myself I wanted to be the 10th champion at the Guangzhou Open. Having faith is so powerful - it can really make your dream come true."i
