“I honestly don’t know what is going on,” the 24-year-old said. “Every single match here is kind of crazy for me. I’m very grateful.”
“I’m happy it looks like I’m in control. I was definitely nervous, that’s normal because I care so, I’m stressed but I just focused on my game and my job and I’m happy I managed to do that.”
