After the victory over Petton Sterns in two sets at the WTA tournament 500 in Washington-a rival, 22 years younger and one that is part of the top 35 of the world rating-the seven-time champion of tournaments of a large helmet held a press conference.
“It was only the first step, but I have to confess – the first match after such a pause is always incredibly complicated. It is difficult for people to explain how difficult it is to play after such a break. When I go to the court, I know that I have the strength to win, but then it is still necessary to realize it.
Undoubtedly, this is the best result I could hope for – I played well and, moreover, won. I am here with my friends, with my family, with loved ones and all these fans. It was a wonderful evening that I won’t forget, ”California shared, thanking the Wild Card for the main grid.
“There are no limits in this sport – it all depends only on what you have in your head, and how ready you are ready to sacrifice for the sake of the goal,” she emphasized at a press conference, shining with happiness, which she, she said, has not felt for a long time.
“If you are working on yourself – physically, mentally, emotionally – then you can achieve the desired result. It doesn’t matter how many times you fell, ill or injured. If you continue to believe in the process and improve your skills, a chance will definitely appear. There will always be a place for you. ”
At some point, the journalist asked: why she does it – or, more precisely, for whom?
“I am not here to prove something. If I have returned – then only for myself, and I have nothing to prove. I’m here for myself, because I want to be here. The desire to prove something or convince someone that he is wrong has never brought me a career. And defeat – too. No one will work for me – only I myself. So I don’t care what others say. It won’t stop my work. No one will break my faith. Even if something incredible is being talked about, it will not help win the match. I try to focus only on myself and nothing else. ”
