Brussels Open

Brussels BEL, 21.05. – 26.05.2012 / Premier $637,000 clay

KAIA KANEPI — TSVETANA PIRONKOVA / 46. BUL /

6:3 | 6:1

Kaia won

Kaia won in 1 hour and 22 minutes.

Kaia's own words: "There was more to the game than the scoreline said. In the first set on 3:3 she also had chances, I was lucky to win that first set. In general I felt confident.

When I had 3 double fouls in a row it was no point to get nervous. If I would have become nervous I would have made also the fourth foul. I remembered that Ferrer also had 3 doubles in one game. So it happens, all kind of things happen. There is no point to panic, you just have to play and get yourself going again.

Tomorrows match will be tough if I play well. Radwanska is very stable and will not fall apart. I have to play well to win. I always have to play well to win.

My heals have not gotten worse. Today was even a bit better than in previous days. The matches have not been very long and tiresome so far. I can have a rest at least one day before Paris."

In tomorrows semifinal Kaia will meet Agnieszka Radwanska.
