Sve cestitke!
Ana:
"It's a great victory for me," a beaming said, having squealed in delight after securing the first Masters Series title of the year and beating the Russian for a fifth time in six meetings.
"When I managed to break her at four-all in the first set, it gave me confidence and I went strong from that point on.
"I was most happy about my aggressiveness today," added the Serb, who hit 30 winners to Kuznetsova's 14.
"I was staying low and taking my opportunities, knowing that when she would hit the short ball I would try to attack and take away time from her.
"I'm really enjoying my time and I'm playing some good tennis. The hard work is paying off so I'm just happy to see that.
Kuznetsova, the 2004 U.S. Open champion, conceded she had been totally outplayed in losing her eighth WTA final in her last nine.
"It's always painful to lose, but I prefer to get to the final losing than to lose in second round," the Russian said. "I think she played incredibly well in the first set, every important ball she hit a winner on the line."
Novak:
There is something in this desert air which keeps me going year after year," Djokovic, runner-up at Indian Wells 12 months ago, said in a courtside interview.
"I am doing pretty good here. I also want to congratulate Mardy on a fantastic week. Obviously, his ranking is not good enough. He's a much better player than that and deserves to be ranked much higher."
Fish, ranked a career-high 17th four years ago, capped a remarkable week that featured three victories over top-10 players by stunning Swiss world number one Roger Federer in Saturday's semi-finals.
"This has been a tremendous week for me, definitely one I will never forget," said Fish, who won the last of his two ATP titles in Houston in 2006.
"Yesterday was one of the best days of my life and this is my favourite tournament."
