i"Simona and I had played a couple of times before, but she's really on a different level now. I don't know how I pulled it off. In the first set I wasn't doing much to hurt her, and that's the tennis she's capable of playing — I knew I had to do some different things after the first set to win this match.i

i"I don't take any finals for granted, and every tournament means a lot to me. I came close last year, and I didn't have a great first set today, but I knew it wasn't over until the last point was played."i


i"I don't take these moments for granted because I know what it's like to be out and injured and trying to find your way back just to play tennis," Sharapova said after the final. "I really enjoy playing this sport. I like the work that I put in, and I want to get the opportunities to be in the final. So it doesn't matter if I'm playing on the moon or in Madrid, to be in the final position is an honor."i

Simona Halep: "I started very well, but she came back very well and deserves the title," Halep said. "She's a great competitor and she's fighting for every moment, every point. I learned a lot of things today.i


i"I don't have regrets. I'm just happy and want to enjoy the result, because my result, it's very big and it's a great experience to play the final in the biggest tournaments."i
