“Sometimes I get tense, but today I just told myself, ‘I don’t know, whatever happens, happens’. I got a little bit tentative, a little bit tense at 4-1, three double faults, a lot of mistakes, and obviously she started to hit winners, and I kept making mistakes again.
“I just told myself that it’s also not easy to come back, so I was like, ‘If she comes back and I continue playing so-so then okay good for her’, but I just told myself that I’m just gonna try to do what I can for every point. I’m super happy that it didn’t go to 4-all or to the third set.”
Andreeva awaits Colombian Emiliana Arango or Spanish qualifier Marina Bassols Ribera in the second round.
