“Before the match, I felt a lot of excitement because Ons’ game has always inspired me. Even before I started participating in WTA tournaments, I always followed her game and she always motivated me.
I had the chance to play her and, to be honest, I played incredible tennis in the first set. This was something I didn’t expect of myself. It was probably my best match. I am very satisfied with the level of play I showed on the pitch today.
When I realized that I was entering the field of Rod Laver Arena, I felt that I must now take advantage of this opportunity and win for the first time in such a major tournament, and I faced this stain.
I was nervous before the match, but I noticed Ons was nervous too. To some extent this helped me, because I realized I wasn’t the only one feeling stressed.
I just decided to enjoy the game, because it’s Rod Laver Arena and I’m playing against an opponent I like,” Andreeva shared, as quoted by the tournament press service.
