"Yeah, I mean, the low point for me was at the middle of the season. It was really bad. Coming from the injury in the beginning you never know what to expect."
"At the beginning of the season I was okay, but after all seeing that I was struggling also with my back, it wasn't responding well. My results weren't what I was expecting in that moment. So it was really bad."
"There was moments, especially after Madrid, that I didn't know what to do. In my mind I was thinking, like, maybe I should quit because if I'm not in the highest level, I don't want to play this sport."sport.
"I don't want to be in the ranking I was in that moment. For me it doesn't make sense. That's how I am as my personality. So if I'm not on the top or in the best players in the world, I don't want to play this"
"In that moment I was playing really bad, and I wasn't finding the solution, but I had no other option than to be with my team, stick with them, trust the process as we say. I think the process was good. I was working well, but I just needed time and patience."
"Also, I needed my back to respond. It came all after I think after the clay court season, before the grass. I started to feel better. You know, you slowly win matches. You start to believe in yourself."
"The most important, that my back was responding really well. After that I think I lost very close matches there, but the level was there. Well, finally here in the U.S. swing I could prove it. I think all my work paid off."
