“I'm a different person off the court than I am on the court, where I'm very competitive, a perfectionist, and I can be hard on myself sometimes. Off the court, nothing really bothers me. I'm easy-going.”
“I was really happy, especially with my first set, ... I took Anna-Lena extremely seriously because I had never played her in singles before. I came out from the beginning, the first point of the match, ready to play. It was nice to see how well I was playing.”
“I was happy with the way I started out the match, ... I was really playing well. I knew what I needed to do against her. She's a dangerous player if you let her play. The key for me today was hitting the ball hard, being aggressive, hitting it deep.”
“As long as I was hitting the ball hard and hitting it deep, our rallies were not that long. ... There was one way to beat her, and that was to be aggressive first.”
