n straight sets 64 63, making it her first title of the year, and fourth of her career."I feel really good about how I played the whole week," Bartoli said. "I had some tough matches, not just today but also in the semifinals. They were both two sets but tough. I hit some great shots at the right moment. I'm happy about my level."
Bartoli's semifinal win over Zheng Jie, who was the No.4 seed, was also her 300th career singles match win: "It makes me feel old - 300 already, oh my gosh! I don't normally think about the wins but it's great. I focus on winning titles, not about how many matches I've win. But of course I'm happy about it!
"Monterrey was absolutely perfect. So many people came out to watch every day, and there were even French fans supporting me so much. For its first year it was really well organized, and the Tournament Director did his best to give us everything we needed. I really enjoyed my time here."
