“I really struggled to find my rhythm out there. It came as a surprise a little bit because I was practicing really well. I was struggling to find my feet and get two consecutive balls in the court. Against players like Roberta who don’t make many errors, it’s always going to be tough to win like that.

“When you’re down 4-0, 5-0, 6-0, the panic starts to set in. I forced a little bit. It was bad already without that. It was really, really tough for me out there.

“(I haven’t suffered a loss like this) since I was a junior. I can’t remember the last time I had a match like this.”
