Well, I got, like, positive feedback even from Alize Cornet when she won and ended that streak. I wasn't expecting maybe too much because of the losses, so that's good. It's not like the whole universe changed so right now I'm always going to be in quarter-finals or finals or whatever, win tournaments.

Sometimes I wasn't ready for it when she was changing that rhythm. But I'm happy I was fighting till the end.” I'm pretty happy I made it through and could close it in second set and come back. Yeah, that was pretty important for me.
