This is a very difficult year with injuries. I just wish you good luck. He smiled at me today.

A certain satisfaction from today is all the work done just to be here. The fall at Wimbledon was very, very shocking to me. I couldn’t believe it was happening, especially after all the trauma I’ve been through over the years. “How did that happen?” I thought. It was very difficult for me.

That’s why I’m so happy to be here. I did my best to come here as soon as possible and this time in the best form I could get. The good news is that I was able to win with very little time to prepare.

I play better each time. That’s why I say to everyone: pray for me, pray for my health so I can keep going on the field (smiles),” said Venus.
