I have so much respect for the way she plays, ... I just tried to keep fighting for every point. I went for my shots and it paid off.

I was just really glad how I stuck in there and kept fighting for every point. That's what makes the difference for me, now being able to win these matches.

I was not fighting myself at all as I used to.

I just tried to be a bit calmer and patient.

It was really difficult out there and I just tried to make sure I put as many balls as possible in court, and not go for too many crazy shots or go for the lines

I think we all know how well she can really play. But to her credit, I thought she kept fighting until the end.
