I don't think the scores showed anything, it was physically and mentally so challenging to play against her today. We were fighting for everything.

I go there to play and would like to play against strong opponents. I always enjoy high-level competition,

I knew I had to be consistent against her. That's her biggest strength, being consistent. She's not going to overpower me on the court. She's just going to try to make me hit another ball. I thought I did that really well. I took my opportunities, took my chances, and that was important.

Ive been playing against older and stronger competition my whole life. It has made me a better tennis player and able to play against this kind of level despite their strength and experience.
