Joshna
We never played, but of course I know her. Yesterday, she had a tough match with Nada, and it could have gone either way. Or it could have got her sharper, or it could have put a lot of work in the legs. And I could see she got on court with a specific plan against me.
She played very well in the first game, but in the next three games, I got a better length, and I felt more comfortable from that point onwards.
During the lockdown, I was lucky enough to be able to train at my mum who has more space than I, she has a terrace, and that was really good for being able to improvise some routines. I didn’t want to have to start from scratch when we started to play again, so it was important for me to stay in shape, and I was working 5 days a week…
I was able to spend more time with my family actually, that was the plus point of the lockdown…
