Obviously this has not unfolded the way we wanted because we were counting on having two weeks of more preparation and the lead-up tournaments which on both accounts we were not able to do, but I must say that we had a really good lead-up period before we travelled to Australia, things were going nice and smooth and she was making progress and we were heading in the right direction.

I always thought she was going to be a really good player. For me, that was a given, but that she was going to be able to get that quick of a turnaround and from a year ago she lost qualies here first round and a year later – no.

I think it needed to be a little bit channeled and (she got) some tips on how to use all this energy, i noticed very early on that she was a born competitor.

I think her game was in place but she needed to really know what she was able to do, i think she knows now.

Her journey, I guess, from a year ago has been pretty incredible. I'd like to say that we kind of had a feeling that it was going to turn out this way but I didn't.

I was lucky not to get sick, i had a fever one night, that was it. But it’s been a very difficult experience anyway and I’m going to limit it to that for now on that topic.
