"I always believed in this but to be now here in this spot. One year ago, I gave birth to my second daughter. If somebody would tell me one year later you are in a semi-final of Wimbledon, that’s crazy."
"To be a mum, for me, is on the top of my life, so I think it helps me in tennis too, because now my priority are my kids. I mean, for sure I play tennis, I want to do my best, and, yeah, that’s all I want. But my kids are the priority. If I go out here, I want my kids to be happy, healthy, that everything is OK. That’s the most important (thing) for me in my life."
"I guess there are a lot of people who never believed I would come back. This was already after Charlotte and when I changed my backhand. To be honest, I showed it last time already that I am back."
"I mean, I reached the top 50 with Charlotte, and now I’m back with my second child. Still everybody was doubting. It’s a little bit my life (objective) to show everybody that I’m still here and I’m a fighter, and I keep going and I keep dreaming. That’s what I want to show my kids."
