6-4, 6-3

THE MODERATOR: Bad luck on the result today, of course. Can you cast an eye on the entire time here in Australia and be proud of your achievements in making the final?

ENA SHIBAHARA: Thank you. Yeah, we're just really happy with the way we've been playing. Really, every single match I feel like we are improving.

Of course, yes, today was pretty -- it was just so close. I feel like it was just right there. Obviously our opponents were just too good and solid.

I feel like the experience was just the difference. I know that I think the next time we'll have a better shot at it. Overall I'm just really proud of how we've been playing together, so really excited for what's to come.

THE MODERATOR: Thank you.
