I was surprised how I was feeling on the court because I was focused only on the point and on the game and not on the final.

It was probably when I had a game point at 3-1 in the first set and it was a really long point, and I did a passing shot after a huge rally. Maybe from then I was like, 'Okay, that's not normal.'

Probably. Definitely. I love to play finals. I love to play on the big stadiums. This is something really special. It doesn't feel like just a normal tournament for me - it's something more, more, more.

When I sat on the chair at 5-0, I was like, 'Okay, now you can try to break her, and if not, you have the serve.' So I was a little bit more relaxed since I had a few chances to do that. But I still knew I could break her. Then suddenly I did a winner from the backhand, and I was so happy. I didn't really know what was going to happen, and I just had tears in my eyes, I was just so, so happy.

Yeah, it seems like it, right? It definitely was one of the best matches that I've played.

She's a legend. She's really huge in the Czech Republic. Everywhere, actually.

Maybe it was magic. I was really prepared for everything. I knew I had to go for every shot, but I also think for her it wasn't really easy when she saw I was running and putting everything back too.
