It was a pulsating match which could have gone any way. As I was watching the match I couldn't help but think how fortunate the Auckland crowd where to witness this and two former grand slam champions battling so hard for this title.
For Ana it was her first WTA title in two years and you could tell she was nervous as the would have renewed the somewhat stalling career.
For Venus the win would have been huge as she is battling a debilitating illness that saps her of her energy, so the win would have been huge for her.
However for Venus it was not meant to be but the way she is fighting this debilitating illness is very inspiring.
The fact is Venus has seven grand slam titles and has made over twenty nine million dollars in prize money.
The fact that she refuses to give up and is playing top level tennis at thirty three years old is truly amazing.
Well done to Ana for winning this title hopefully this win enable her to have a much more successful 2014.
