"This win means so much to me. It is my first Billie Jean King Cup match and to come out and represent my team like I did in my first professional match on clay is really amazing."
"It definitely means so much because this year I have been playing really good tennis for a set, maybe a set and a half, and then my energy dips and I find myself in an absolute battle."
"Today, I felt it was another step in the right direction because I managed to overcome that, so that gives me a lot of confidence. For the team also, we’re still in this. We’re still in this battle and we’re fighting."
"Tomorrow, I face Marketa and, of course, she is a great player. She made the final of Roland Garros [in 2019] and she loves clay, but I’m looking forward to playing her. It will be a great test to see where I am at on clay and build for the rest of the season because all tournaments are going to have this quality of opposition."
"I am looking forward to seeing how my game measures up and if you’re going to have a challenge, why not pick the toughest one? I’m up for that challenge and who knows what will happen? The team is really pumped and looking forward to it."
