Quotes from the news wire:
I would love to go just to get some experience on the grass court, but like at the same time, for me, it's kind of like -- I don't want to say pointless, no pun intended, but I'm the type of player that gets motivated by, like, seeing my ranking go up or, like, you know, stuff like that, so I think the intention was really good, but the execution is kind of all over the place.

I think I played well today. But I knew that I had to because I've played her twice before already and it was on hard court and then I didn't know what to expect today so I tried to stay as focused as I could, i'm in a really good place right now.

This match was on my racket because she (Sorribes Tormo) doesn't really have the game. She wasn't going for winners and I felt either the point was ended by me making an unforced error, or me making a winner, i feel like in the first set, I got a bit lucky there. In the second set I got a little bit unfocused and then in the third set I went zombie mode and then just thought of everything that I had to do to win.

I think I have been able to do that, but for me right now I just try to keep looking forward. So I'm not really satisfied — I am happy that I'm here, but at the same time I want to keep going.

I already know that to be here is something that a lot of people want, and I know that a few months ago I would have given anything to be in the semi-finals of a Grand Slam, but it's this weird feeling of you want to do the next big thing. And especially now that I won a Grand Slam, and I feel like I want to win another one, and I'm so close and I just want to keep going.
