When I finished the juniors I felt, perhaps for about a year and a half, that everything was going to be the same and that I would be able to go out there and win any match. But it wasnt the case. I struggled.

This trophy is so special in the world of tennis and it feels great.

There were many occasions in my career where I could have given up, where I asked myself whether I would ever make it.

You have to adjust to where you are but the French are all together - the guys and the women. It's good.

I definitely wanted this win today and I don't want anybody to talk about my nerves anymore.

We all had, at some point, matches we should have won and we didn't and that's the game. That's just the way the sport is. Otherwise, if everything was written before, we don't need to play.

Right now I have more confidence in myself. I grew up.
