I have admired Martina for so many years. When I got to the tournament and saw that she was going to be my opponent… I couldn't believe it. I tried to play my best tennis, I was on the big stage at Roland Garros. It was tough mentally. It's not every day you see Martina in front of you. I think in the end, even though I won, I could only congratulate Martina for everything she's done, for who she is, for her amazing career. What emotions!
