REUTERS: Japan's Nao Hibino beat compatriot and doubles partner Misaki Doi 6-3 6-2 at the Hana-cupid Japan Women's Open in Hiroshima on Sunday to win her first WTA title since 2015.
"I was so nervous today, so much more than the semi-finals," Hibino said."But because I experienced being nervous in the semi-finals, I knew what to expect. I was able to stay positive during the match today." Doi made 14 unforced errors in the opening set alone and did not recover until going down 4-0 in the second set."She was playing well. Today, she was persistent," Doi said."She has a strong backhand but she was also using her forehand to structure points well, giving me very little chance to play my game.
Doi did not go home empty handed, though, as she teamed up with Hibino to beat Christina McHale and Valeria Savinykh 3-6 6-4 10-4 in the doubles final.
