Around the match
“It was an incredibly high level, I haven't experienced something like that in a long time. I simply believed in what I've been doing these past weeks. And when you do that, you get rewarded in the end.”
“We were on the same flight and talked for what felt like two and a half hours. As I always say: we're ambitious players, but after the match I'm friendly to everyone – to those who are nice, of course. She's a nice person, so I have no problem with that.”
Lost to Sherif in a three-hour quarterfinal despite strong break-point defense, days after retiring in the Iasi final with a leg injury.
