“I’m feeling over the moon,” she said. “I’m very happy to win another title and one here Stockholm. This city is amazing so I wanted to leave it with a very good note and I’m very happy to be here. “It feels special [becoming the first women’s champion of the Swedish Open]. To say I’d be the first one to ever win this event is a new record for me and I can’t wait to come back and just do more records in this space.
