She further added, "I want to thank my family and friends for supporting me during tough times last year. I always believed I could come back."

Mattek-Sands  also looked satisfied after the match, as she quoted, "This is my best tournament. When I made the final here again I really wanted to get my picture up on the champion's wall. Tamira is a tough player. She was injured for a little bit but obviously playing qualifying here and making it all the way to the final, she has been playing really well."
