“My coach then gave me some good points, and then I slowly eased into the match, finding my lengths, my shots, I was more on target. From 2-0 down, winning it 3-2< I don’t know what to say!
“Farida was whacking the ball so hard and I couldn’t see the ball, so my coaches told me to slow down the pace a bit. Obviously after the first and second sets, the ball became more dead and I think it was a bit to my advantage. I made use of it. I started chopping it in and I felt really good after that. I felt pretty confident after that third set.
“I just found out I am playing Satomi tomorrow; I didn’t even look beyond the draw, to be honest. It’s so cool to be playing with these players, it’s such a privilege. Even today, playing with Farida, playing on court with these players is so surreal.
“I’m just taking each match one by one. If I can beat Farida today, I don’t know what else I can do, so I’m just going to give my all, have a good warm down, rest and think about tomorrow later.”
