“Out of respect, I will speak in Spanish. Anna, thank you!”

Huge triumph for Sorana Cîrstea. The Romanian player won the Madrid double competition, a success that brings 1,000 points and climbs to 82nd in the world double ranking.

Sorana was the last to speak after the match. First, the vice -champions spoke, then spoke the Russian with which Sorana made a pair this week.

Sorana first spoke in Spanish, to the delight of the public from Caja Magica.

Sorana Cîrstea “melted” the audience in Madrid: “Anna, thank you. I have not had a lot of fun in my entire career!”

“I want to start in Spanish out of respect for all those who came here today. First of all, I want to thank you all who have been with us on this very special day for us. Normally I never play double, so this trophy is all the more beautiful. I never thought I would win this week.

I told Anna: “Let's enjoy one, two games, and now look at us, with the trophy!” I want to thank you again to everyone who you are here, but also to those who organized the tournament, the director of the tournament. Now I will talk in English, “said Sorana in the first phase, before changing the language:

“Anna, thank you very much for this week, I never had fun so well in my whole career. I said we would play one or two matches, but look here with the trophy. You were fantastic. Thanks to you I won today, so thank you!

Congratulations to opponents, tennis is a match in which one or two points make the difference. Congrats on a great week.

And our team … My physiotherapist, Andrei, who managed all my difficult moments. My coach wasn't here this week, but I have to thank him. And Anna's coach, Patricia, is absolutely amazing, the tournament has won us! Thank you again, I'm very happy with this trophy. It was very unexpected. “

Sorana ended in Spanish: “Thank you again everyone! For me, Madrid is like the second house. I can only say: thank you from the heart!”
