“It’s difficult because I can’t win many games at the moment. I feel that it is still difficult physically and mentally. I didn’t expect to win everything at once, but I didn’t think it would be so difficult.

The most important thing is that the knee is fine. I’m happy because I feel like I can push harder. It has been a very difficult time so far. Actually, it was only at the beginning of March that I became myself again.

Now I can train normally, so I hope to be at my best during the clay season” – Anastasia Pavlyuchenkovaquoted by TennisActu.
