The Swiss commented:
“It feels pretty amazing to reach the semifinals,.To get into the tournament at the last minute and now make it through the group and into the semifinals, it feels very nice, I have to say.
It was obviously not the way I wanted to win today, but I’m still super proud of how I fought back from 5-3 down in the first set. Maybe if she won the first set, it could have been a different story.”
