“She said, 'Do you want to play?' and I said 'Of course. Who doesn't want to play with Martina? I just feel very lucky. We're all very happy to have her back.”
“I was kind of ready for how she plays. I could pick up a few things about her game and just had to take more advantage of the chances that I had, but I got tired and made some unforced errors. I tried not to give her too many angles but she can get to every ball with her long arms and legs. I tried to hit to her body and keep it deep.”
