Hania :“It was very tough. I’ve just seen the duration of the match, and it was such a long match. It was a long and nervy match. I’m really pleased and grateful for the off-day tomorrow, it’s going to be much needed.
“It’s definitely a lot of pressure. I’m playing in front of my home crowd, which actually really helped today, screaming my name and trying to push me to come back in the game. It’s a lot of pressure being the No.1 seed, but I just try to talk to myself a bit and, the mindset that I’ve already had a great season, I’ve done a lot of achievements that I haven’t done before, so I’m just trying to stay in the moment and be a bit more positive.
“It’s easier said than done, obviously. You can get a bit stuck in your head sometimes. Tomorrow I’ll try to talk a bit more positively to myself and have a better performance in the semi-finals.”
