Thank you so much for my birthday wishes!<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;It&#8217;s nice to see Jack back on the court. He was really impressive and I think I was a bit lucky in the second set. I&#8217;m super happy to be in the final.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I hate to play against a fellow lefty [left-handed player]. It&#8217;s really tough.
