Francesca Schiavone Against Quotations

It's very difficult playing against another Italian. Flavia and I are very good friends. We were together until an hour before the match, but when you go on court there are no friends.

Considering the player I was up against and the problems I had to overcome, I would say this is my most beautiful win of my career.

I'm looking forward to playing against Francesca, ... We are very good friends, so even if she beats me, I'll be happy for her.
