Around the match

  • That's why I was super, super tense. We always say that tennis is mental, but this, I think, was another level of mental.

    Badosa P.WTA Tennis
  • I played the match 50 times already in my head. So I felt like I played a five-set match.

    Badosa P.WTA Tennis
  • I think it's good to be battle-tested. When I won here in 2023, I think I went three sets almost every match. I definitely feel more comfortable now, especially on the serving end. I'm able to let things go and feel much more relaxed.

    Gauff C.WTA Tennis
  • I knew if I got through my first-round match, the second round was just going to be tough regardless. But I think today was a big confidence booster knowing that I can get through these matches.
