She did like 25. So I had to do a good recovery after. But yeah, it’s always nice to be next to her. She, she helps me so much even mentally. She’s always so positive sometimes. Maybe I’m struggling a bit and playing against her. Also, I learn a lot from her. She’s so talented, so it’s nice to share moments with her,” this Spanish WTA star said.
