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 just tried to be a bit calmer and patient.

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.

This was one of the best matches I've played against her. I tried to step it up a little bit, went for my shots and be aggressive, but at same time be a little smarter.

I made the second set very difficult for myself, but I managed to turn it around in the third. That was the best part of my match.

I was playing well in the first set, then for some reason I decided to make it difficult for myself in the second set. I was able to get back in form and win it. The conditions were very hot but it was the same for both of us.
