I'm so happy to have won. I still can't believe it. This is an important breakthrough for me. When I served for the match, I tried to think of it as just another game, but I didn't serve well. Fortunately, I was able to get the break back straight away.

I have worked very hard on my service game, and have also made a conscious effort to reduce the number of mistakes on the court. Also, I have much more experience now.

I lost to her the last two times we played, and lost easily, so I really wanted to do something this time.

Other players had to drop out, so maybe I was a little bit lucky, but I was given a chance and I took it.

I can bring together two things that are very important to me, my sport and my style. It's the best technology. In addition, it looks great.
