I’ve known Elina since we were juniors, and also I’ve never won against her on the pro tour, so it was a very important match for me, since I’ve had my chances before. I tried to play my game, slice, drop shot, everything that I could do, but it’s never easy playing her. But I’m glad that I got the win in two sets.”
