“It feels good. I don’t know how many more I can win. Like I say every day, ‘Who knows if I’ll ever win another title?’ I just want to live in the moment and the dream every chance I get. I feel like every moment I play – I don’t know if [...]
“I had a slow start – I was a little bit disappointed about that, it was the third match this week I started like that. Also Carla (Suarez Navarro) was playing really well – it wasn’t easy to play my game because she was holding me back on the baseline, putting a lot of [...]
