He said, “I do always want to think that she has the ability to bounce back. It’s gonna take a lot of work but she’s still young. The way I see her and also the way she’s gifted with her body and her shots. She’s very fast around the court. So, I definitely think if she gets the right people around her to help her make, she dedicates as much as she can of besides being her mother, everything else into tennis, then I do want to give her a chance.”
