“I know her quite well from a tactical point of view, and she knows me, normally. I know she plays a little better on clay, so it will be a difficult match for sure. She likes the conditions here, she moves extremely well, serves well. At the same time, we will see how I will be. I would like to have more days of training here, to get used to the conditions,” added the Romanian.
