About their match in Adelaide, Coco commented:
“Obviously the last time we played, it didn’t end how we both wanted it to. It’s a little bit different now on hard court. I think the timing of playing her, I don’t think matters much…if anything, you want to play the best player – currently, she’s No 1 – the best player early in the season because everything will maybe not seem easy, but you’re starting off strong. You got some things to look forward to, especially the Australian Open coming up.
This is probably the best matchup I could get.”
