Press Conference

BEJLEK-HAVLICKOVA/Bartunkova-Naef

6-3, 6-3

THE MODERATOR: Congratulations. How do you both feel? What are your emotions?

LUCIE HAVLICKOVA: Well, I think the emotions are just perfect, because it's doubles title and it means everything.

SARA BEJLEK: Yeah.

THE MODERATOR: Questions in English.

Q. Congratulations. Well done. Was it difficult going from being opponents yesterday to teammates later in the day and then again today? How did you find that?

LUCIE HAVLICKOVA: Well, for me, it was quite okay, because, I mean, I won the match so I had nothing to be angry of.

But I hope Sara was okay and it was no problem for her.

SARA BEJLEK: Yeah, like, just of the start of the match, I was angry, but then it was better and better (smiling). Today it's better than yesterday.

Q. Obviously for both of you a really successful week in both singles and doubles. How are you going to take that forward and use it for the rest of your season?

LUCIE HAVLICKOVA: Well, for me, it's going to be a big motivation to do something bigger maybe in women's. Yeah, and obviously for my game it will be, I think, helping a lot for the season.

SARA BEJLEK: Yeah, for me also, big motivation, because I will try to play women's qually in Wimbledon.

Yeah, I will try my best, and we will see how it will go.

Q. Lucie, I don't know whether you are aware of the sort of history of winning girls singles and girls doubles in the same year but I think you're the first player to do it in nearly 20 years. Is that something you are proud of? Do you follow the sort of history of the game, that kind of thing?

LUCIE HAVLICKOVA: Well, I didn't know that, but, I mean, it's amazing to be this part of history.

Yeah, I think I can be proud of myself (smiling).

Q. What are your plans to celebrate this title, this success tonight?

SARA BEJLEK: I will go home and sleep.

LUCIE HAVLICKOVA: Yeah, well, I think the celebration is going to be 10 hours in a car. Nothing, how do you say it, nothing funny. But, yeah, I think we are gonna celebrate tomorrow at home with families.

Q. What do you think is the key that makes you both play well together as a pair? What is the key, according to you?

LUCIE HAVLICKOVA: Well, we have played together for a long time now, and I think we fit together well on the court because I'm playing fast so she can play a lot of volleys, which she's great in. Yeah, I think it just suits us really well together.

SARA BEJLEK: Yeah, I think that she said everything.
