It's two months now since we finished The Championships. I guess it's tough to keep the momentum going when you have such a long period between these two big events without having competition.

ball maybe powerful putting score taking tall
Obviously, just putting the ball in and taking the opportunities when I would have them was probably going to be the key. I didn't think, though, that it was going to be this kind of score or this kind of a match. Yeah, I mean, she made way too many errors...She's tall and she's already very powerful for 16. Maybe sometimes not so coordinated, but this is probably going to come.
felt match seriously took
