allowing balls bit broken coming definitely difference felt game great happy harder inside obviously overall played second together
I think the difference in the second set was once I got broken to 2-2 I felt like she played with a little bit more confidence, ... The balls were definitely coming a little bit harder and deeper. She wasn't really allowing me to be inside the baseline as much as I was in the first set. I didn't play a great game to get broken, but overall I got it back together at the end and obviously I'm happy to come out with a victory.
coming expect experience happy held matches matter played test winning
I'm very happy to be here winning the title, ... No matter how much experience or how long you have played you never really know what to expect after coming back from an injury. I really wanted to come in here and kind of test my back and play matches and see how everything held up.

I was happy to get her in the first match because she's the type of player who gets better as tournaments go on. I played well.

But I feel it was a great, great road for me and a great learning process. I figured out a lot of things on my own that probably made me a stronger person. I am happy with who I have become no matter what road I took. I am happy to still be sitting here and feeling the way I do.

I was very happy with the way I served. She was playing extremely well from the baseline, so it was even more important for me to be able to step it up on my serve.
