Losing women\'s singles finalist Julia Goerges found she did nothing wrong, but for the reality that she was up against a very fine player in Agniezska Radwanska at the Dubai Duty Free Women\'s Open on Saturday. \"Well, I don\'t think that I did so many things wrong. She\'s [Radwanska] a tough player and I was so close to win in both sets,\" Goerges admitted after she went down 5-7, 4-6 to Radwanska. \"There are always a few balls which I didn\'t play the way I normally do, or which I missed. But it was still the way I should play it. She [Radwanska] doesn\'t give you anything and she doesn\'t make any mistakes at all. And even when she does make a few mistakes, it\'s at 15-15 or at 15-0, but not on the important moments,\" said the World No.19. However, the 23-year-old who had a quarter-final in Paris Indoors and a fourth round appearance at the Australian Open last month, was pleased with her progression this season. \"You need to dictate the game by yourself against Radwanska, and that is what I did. Unfortunately, it was not enough. But still it was the right direction to play my game,\" she said. \"I\'m not disappointed because it was a big step in the right direction for me. I was leaving everything on the court, so I don\'t know why I should be disappointed about this week,\" she added. \"She\'s a top-5 player; she\'s been there for a long time. So if you lose 7-5 and 6-4 in one hour and 40 minutes, I think I shouldn\'t be disappointed at all. It gives me a lot confidence to see those players are close to me and I can still beat those players. That\'s a good sign for me. I can be pretty proud of this week.\"
