Rezaei, who defeated number two Venus Williams with a stunning 6-2, 7-5 victory, wants more prestigious titles in the future.
“I want to be number one. In the time being I am training eight hours a day to prepare for the Roland Garros,” the French national Rezaei said.
The 23-year-old with Iranian roots added, “I am proud of being Iranian and we speak Farsi in our home. I will return to my motherland after Roland Garros to talk to the Iranian reporters,” she added.
“I did my best in the Spain tournament and beat all my rivals in the one-week competitions, I am proud of myself for that,” Rezaei said.
Rezai had only claimed WTA Tour titles at Strasbourg and Bali prior to Madrid. She gained victories over former world number one’s Junstine Henin and Jelena Jankovic in the prestigious tournament.
