Around the match

  • “It honestly feels unreal. When I was a junior, I played tournaments here, so it really is a blessing to be winning a pro match and qualifying for my first WTA main draw for the first time here at home. It means so much to me.”

    Dong E.vanopen.com ↗· 2026-07-28

  • “I actually learned that she was formerly a top 100 player, so I knew she had a lot of experience. Definitely before heading into this match, I prepared myself mentally and physically really well. I was ready for a battle, and I think most of the match it was.”
