“That is great [ to be ranked the number 1]. It’s just the beginning. We still have plenty of tennis to be played this year. Great to be in the lead. I’m not trying to think of it too much because, again, many tournaments in front of me, ahead of me. I’m going to try to recalibrate, refocus. Attention is now in Barcelona. My body is feeling good, which is a good sign. I’m really pumped to go for some more points the next couple of weeks.”
