_f - Peng,Shuai lt. NICOLE VAIDIŠOVÁ [2], 7-6 (9/7) 6-3

Shuai: "I reached my first final, and that is a good thing. Now I
will forget about this loss and concentrate on the Grand Slams. I
start in Paris on Monday, so I have to just rest and start to focus
on that. I had a good week here."


Nicole: "I had to cut down on my errors to get back on track [from 0-
3 down]. She had a couple of chances in the tiebreak to take the
set, but I was luckier. We were both nervous. I was up 3-0 in the
second set and I let that get away from me, but managed to pull it
out in the end.

"This is the best preparation for Roland Garros. To win an event on
the same surface is the best preparation you can have. I'm extremely
happy with my week in Strasbourg, and I'm going into Paris as well-
prepared as I can be."
