The British tennis player who is currently playing in the Indian Wells tournament is enjoying a good run in the tournament. After achieving a great victory in the round of 32, in the post-match conference, the tennis star was asked about what kind of change she wanted to bring into the sport with the growing time.
She answered, “I never really thought about it. I just feel like it is what it is for everyone, and you’ve just got to deal with it. Like, there is no point in changing anything, really (smiling). Maybe some more time in between points, depending on the weather or something like that. Just because sometimes it’s quite brutal out there having long rallies and it’s really hot, and to recover and you only have got 25 seconds. Yeah, probably that one.”
