“You know, it’s always a privilege kind of being in the position that I’m in.?I have a big game, and, you know, I love playing on grass.?So who knows what could happen, but I think one of the biggest things is to kind of have confidence in yourself and just to believe in yourself.”?Korda further added, as reported by Tennis Infinity.
