Meaning of facing Sabalenka. It was a very nice experience, the scoreboard does not reflect the game. The first games I had to break him, all games I was able to go upstairs but I didn’t close. I felt very close but I did not specify. It hits him well, but I don’t feel like it was something to write home about. If he had been better physically, he could have been different, but he is still Sabalenka.
I had to believe it a little more, I fell short when I was up in the games. She also threw bad shots.
Every day something new is learned, at Roland Garros I was desperate, here I did different things, I was able to win two games, I feel that little by little I rose to the level.
Play with the public. It was beautiful, the most beautiful. I have never had so many people watching me play, not even in Cúcuta. There were times when I earned points and people shouted, I felt that they were for me. It was something very nice, different. I look forward to many more stadiums like this. These weeks I really enjoyed myself, I am very happy with my first performance here. I enjoyed playing on grass.
His jump in this season. I did not expect it, if they had told me that I was going to advance so much, I would not have believed it. I expected by the end of the year to be in the Top-100. Everything that has happened has been a blessing, I would like to continue advancing little by little, I must be grateful, even with today’s defeat. I have nothing to reproach myself for.
What is coming. I’m tired, I want to go home and recover, keep improving. I am leaving very motivated. A quick field tour is coming and I hope to do well there.
