Of course I'm very happy I won."Kvitova will now have a week off before title to Istanbul for the TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships."I'm going to go home and have one week of training," she added. "Then I'm going to Istanbul on Saturday."I'm just going to practice. I'm really looking forward to my first Championships and going to Istanbul."
