Ena Shibahara and Shuko Aoyama: «It was important to play our best for the whole match»

Ena Shibahara and Shuko Aoyama: «It was important to play our best for the whole match»

October 20, 04:45 PM

How do you feel about winning the title?

Aoyama: I knew our opponents were both very good players, so we needed to keep focused because they could come back at any time. It was important to play our best for the whole match.

Shibahara: We knew they were going to come to the net a lot, so we kept telling ourselves not to panic and see where the court is open and I think that worked in our favor today.

You also won the tournament in Tianjin last week, what’s the key to your recent success?

Aoyama: It’s the first time we’ve won two weeks in a row and I’m so excited and I’m so thankful to have such a great partner!

How did you meet and when did you decide to start playing together?

Shibahara: I’ve known her for a while. I’ve always looked up to her: she’s a huge name and I’ve always kind of followed her. We met in Charleston, at the WTA event there. I didn’t get in but she was playing an we started talking in the shuttle bus. We started practice and I kept asking her to play with me. She already had some partners set up and then San Jose was our first tournament and we got to the final there. From there we thought - let’s keep playing, and so far it’s going pretty well!

Have you had a chance to explore the city?

Shibahara: Two days ago we went to the city and saw the Red Square and the Kremlin. We saw all the beautiful buildings and took some pictures.

Aoyama: We also ate borscht for the third time.

Shibahara: It was so good. It’s our favorite now!
