« Even if you have pain, you have to try. I decided to continue, said Maria, who was treated for a low back injury during the match. I was in pain in the first set, but I won it because she was making a lot of mistakes. She was missing the first ball, the second ball. It was good for me. But then she started to play better. I’m playing well and to get this out of nowhere is always sad. »
