Serena: I just needed to start focusing a little bit more
Serena had some comments about her awkward start “At that point, she was playing really well
We’ve played each other a few times. She’s a great player. She’s a Grand Slam champion so she knows how to win big matches and she knows how to win big points, so I just needed to start focusing a little bit more and do a little bit better.”
Next vs. Flipkens
Serena will play world no. 13 Kirsten Flipkens that has beaten Kiki Bertens 7-5 3-6 6-2. This will be the first match between these two.
