Quotes
Meghann Shaughnessy, 2007 Barcelona KIA singles champion:
"Every title I've won is so different; the first one was special, but this was a really nice one to win too. I always just play one match at a time because the competition is so tough these days it doesn't matter what you did yesterday or last week. Even though I only lost one set this week, every one was very close, and I'm just really happy. I feel more confident about my game."
Edina Gallovits, 2007 Barcelona KIA singles runner-up:
"I just came here trying to work on my game for Wimbledon so it turned out to be a great week. I didn't focus on winning. I just tried to work on things and they all went well. It's like I woke up one day and I was in the final!"
