She went on to praise her compatriot as ‘the best player ever’, saying,

"He's there as a great support. Knowing that maybe I'm on the net, but behind me serving is the best player ever, I mean, I'm secure. I feel secure. I feel good. I really tried my best. I also felt responsibility to him and to my team, not only to myself. I think I did a good job. I'm proud of that.”
