Around the match

  • I think the match against Serena really helped me. It definitely boosted my confidence. I really had a tough start to the year and quite a long losing streak. And then this challenge came along… In the end, I beat her. And that match helped me believe I could start winning again.

  • After Wimbledon, I wanted to get back on hard courts and stay in Europe a bit longer. I'd never been here before, and I love discovering new places.
