Gabrine Muguruza and Anett Kontaveit
Anett Kontaveit has had a wonderful year this time around. She came into the WTA finals after winning two back-to-back titles. She won the Kremlin Cup and Translyvania Open and entered the WTA finals in some style. Moreover, in the tournament, she made her way into the finals after losing just a single match.
In the summit clash, Anett was up against Gabrine Muguruza, the only player who had cornered her in the group stage. Unfortunately for Kontaveit, Muguruza again got the better of her and defeated her in straight sets by 6-3, 7-5. Once the game ended, Kontaveit had a few points to make.
“I think you can achieve as much as you believe you can”: Anett Kontaveit after WTA Final loss
“I think this season definitely has given me so much confidence, so much self-belief,” Kontaveit said after the game. She claimed that she needs a little time to reflect as she has been playing continuously for a long time now. “Looking forward to just taking some time to reflect, just think of what has happened in the last few months, because I’ve been playing matches non-stop so there hasn’t really been any time for that,” she said.
“I think the self-belief is a big thing, I think you can achieve as much as you believe you can. I think that’s definitely what has really grown for me.” Anett added that she has had a great season with coach Dmitry and wants to build on it in the upcoming season.
“I think I’m excited for the next season. Really want to keep this momentum up, just keep improving on my game, have a very good pre-season with Dmitry, just keep working,” she added. Kontaveit ended the interaction on a positive note by claiming that her game is improving and that she is excited about what is to come. “I think we’re doing the right things, my game is definitely improving in the right direction. I’m very excited for what’s to come.”
