“At the start of the match, I was thinking too much. And that’s why I lost the first set. I made early breaks and then I couldn’t hold serve. That was my problem.

When I lost the first set, I tried to tell myself to stay focused and pull myself together. The first series showed that unnecessary thoughts do not help here, but only get in the way. I am happy that I was able to turn the situation around,” Qinwen said at a press conference.
