Caroline’s Impressions
Carolina Marín wanted to thank in a tweet the support received by emphasizing: “We are already in the quarterfinals, very happy, especially because of the comeback I made at the end. It was a very tough match, three sets with 20-16 against in the third but the most important It’s that these kinds of matches, against world-class players, give me confidence, because spending a year without playing because of the injury has been very complicated, especially for the mind, but I’m very happy and tomorrow we’ll go all out. Now we’re going to recover.”
