Final Quotes
Agnieszka Radwanska, 2008 Pattaya Women’s Open singles champion:
"The first two games I lost very quickly, and then I won six in a row - then it was everything for her in the second set. It is very strange and hard to explain. In the third I was also ahead but she came back and was fighting to the last point. I was nervous and everything was upsetting me. But I was also fighting until the last point. I was very relieved when I finally won it, and that's the most important thing."
Jill Craybas, 2008 Pattaya Women’s Open singles runner-up:
"I just kept playing my game, and I think she got a little bit nervous towards the end. I'm disappointed I lost but I fought my hardest. I played as well as I could today and I have no regrets because I gave 100 percent and can't ask for more than that. At 5-5 I felt I would pull, but on that one match point I had I could have been a little more aggressive. But although I'm disappointed I lost it was a great week and I'm going to take all the positives from it."
