Casey Dellacqua labelled her time in Cairns as a “near perfect week” by taking out the Cairns Tennis International . She took the final in straight sets over Poland’s Sandra Zaniewska (6-4, 7-6) at the Cairns International Tennis Centre. “Coming back these tournaments are crucial for me, but also for everyone trying to make the top 100,” Dellacqua said. “I came here wanting matches and I got five singles matches this week and to be honest probably played a little bit better than I expected. Sandra played really well so it was a bit of a challenge.”Hopefully, I won’t be back because I’ll be in the top 100 and playing bigger tournaments, but if I happen to be back I’ll be sure to enjoy my time here again,” she said. “I’ve a much perfect week here, it’s my first time to Cairns and I’ve loved it,” she said. “Every restaurant we’ve been to, or every place we’ve been, everyone has just been so friendly. “Honestly, I have had a fantastic week and I wish every week was like this with nice weather, nice hotel, nice pool to swim in. It’s been an absolutely fantastic week.
