Tennis has had a very positive impact on my life.

I played Mary Joe Fernandez in the semifinals. She was winning the first set. Second set was very close. I started to play this aggressive game. I think I surprised them.

That was one of those moments where I felt so confident. I played three matches in the same day.

I was formerly so stuck into plans. I can now live more spontaneously. This I want not yet to give away.

I lost more then 6 kilograms when I ceased with the top sport. That were all muscles. They are now gone.

I never thought tennis was going to give me so much satisfaction.

I was feeling a lot of confidence, so I wanted to take advantage of that and keep playing.
