AB: A lot more fun. A lot more fun. I mean, last year, the last two years, has been extraordinarily tough for a lot of people all around the world. For us as tennis players, we were able to continue playing, that was an absolute bonus. To have the crowd here, it brings a life to the sport, brings the enjoyment, and for me a lot more fun when I got to share it with everyone else.
She’s an incredible athlete, an incredible competitor, one of her best attributes is she turns up point after point after point. It’s just nice to see her back playing her best tennis. She’s a champion. She’s going to be in a lot of deep stages at a lot of majors in her future, that’s for sure. I enjoy sharing the court, testing my game against her. She has an incredible game.
I think the most important thing is I just tried to be me. I just continued to be me. That’s all I can do. That’s what I’m good at. That’s who I am. That’s who I want to be.
