After the match, the leader of the world ranking was satisfied with her performance games. The first match on clay is always difficult. Elise was really good. Sometimes in defense I had to be patient and really work for points. This is one of the things that has to change when moving from the hard court. You have to be ready for longer exchanges. You need to change your way of thinking and be more patient – said the Pole after the match.
