About the match she said: "I think one of my strengths is the mental aspect, the ability to solve problems. Today, for example, I realized that I was slowing down, playing too much in the middle or only on a side of the pitch in the second set.
So I re-examined the tactics, and in the third I increased the speed and opened the corners better. Yes, that's one of my qualities, finding solutions during the game, and maybe trying to be unpredictable. " In the other matches, wins came for Iga Swiatek, Simona Halep and Cori Gauff.
