“I want to thank my fathers, my brothers and sisters, and my mothers who came all the way to support me. I want to thank MTN Ghana Foundation—they gave me this wheelchair. God bless you.”

Siniakova, ranked 56th, ousted French Open quarter-finalist Garcia in a match interrupted three times because of the rain.

The Czech player made her first WTA final in Bastad a year ago, and has since won her first title this year in Shehzhen.

"It's amazing. The atmosphere is really good year, so I'm happy I could come back. I wasn't sure if I would play here again, but I'm back and in the final!"
