Kenzy: 

“I feel great – I’m really proud of myself. At the beginning I was very solid and then the second game I wasn’t playing very well, but I’m really proud of myself that I came back and I was solid again. I’m looking forward to tomorrow.

“It’s my first time playing on this glass court and in the first game I was really nervous as I was playing my game and I wasn’t focusing too much about what I had to do but then I came back. I’m really proud of myself.

“The last game I was 10-5 and she came back and I started to lose some focus and the last couple of points I was thinking about winning and playing tomorrow. At 10-all I said to play this point.”
