After beating Stephens in the quarter-final, she talked about the true values of life during her on-court interview. She said, “Even last year, I think, I was kind of too focused on trying to fulfill other people’s expectations and I think it just enjoy life. I mean, I know, no matter how good or bad my career is, I think I’m a great person.”

“So, I think, that’s a message for all the young players out here… Your results, even in life in general, Your results, your job, or how much money you make, doesn’t define you as a person. So, just know that if you love yourself, who cares about what anyone else thinks,” she further said, as she gave a lovely message.

Since then, she has been knocking on the door for a while, as she finally made it to the quarter-finals of the French Open last year.
