She is a tricky player, talented, good racquet skills. Sometimes, you think she doesn’t want to be in the match, and suddenly, she brings her shots out of nowhere, she is slowing you down, putting you to sleep, so you have to try and regain your focus…
Today, every point, I don’t think I was doing anything particularly wrong, but sometimes, you have got to find solutions as you go on, trust the game plan, and I think I did today.
Obviously in the second and third, I was a bit down. I started off solid in the first, but then she changed and slowed me even more. I got my pace up in the first, and it was 11/4.
Second and third, I have to adjust myself, I tried to focus on what we talked about with Greg, and I managed to do it. I fought every point, I know I’m stronger, and fitter as well. I just tried to push and happy I won in three.
