Hercog Repeats at Swedish Open

 

Polona Hercog defended her Swedish Open title in Bastad on Sunday, rallying from a horrendous start to defeat Mathilde Johansson of France 0-6, 6-4, 7-5.

“In a final everybody wants to win, so the nerves kick in a lot,” Hercog said. “I’m just happy I could calm myself down in the last two games. It was a lot of fighting today and a lot of ups and downs, and I’m very happy to win. Second year in a row is amazing – to be invincible here for two years is unbelievable. Bastad has some kind of magic power for me, I guess!”

Twice Hercog was within two games of defeat during her run to the title, in the quarterfinals against Pironkova and in the final against Johansson.

Ferrer takes second Bastad title

 

David Ferrer captured his second Swedish Open title by knocking out fellow Spaniard Nicolas Almagro 6-2, 6-2. Ferrer continued his unbeaten record against Almagro, now 11-0.

“It has been the best season of my career, I have won five titles. I have never done this well and I am very happy for that. I work hard, I always fight every match and every year I try and improve on my game.

“Last year I played really good tennis. I am a better player than in 2007 when I won here. I don’t work to be in the Top 4. I work to be a better player and nothing else. I think the Top 4 are amazing players, and they are better than everyone else at this moment. I don’t think about the Top 4, I think about me and the Top 10.

“I got some good results on the grass courts and now I have won here in Bastad. Of course I have confidence [going into the Olympics]. I will have two days of relaxing and then next week I will practice on grass.”

Ferrer also won the Basttad in 2007.

Robert Lindstedt of Sweden and Horia Tecia of Romania won the men’s doubles for the third timesdefeating Alexander Peya of Austria and Bruno Soares of Brazil 6-3, 7-6 (5).

“It’s unreal to win a home title three years in a row,” said Lindstedt. “It’s been unreal, we came here almost like in a coma [after losing the Wimbledon final]. We have been very, very tired all week, but we have managed to raise our game to play our best tennis for the semis and the final.”

Tecau continued:”We are very happy to get the third title here as it’s a special tournament for Robert and me also.”
