Press Conference

A. KONTAVEIT/E. Ruse

6-3, 6-1

THE MODERATOR: Another good win for you today, keeping the momentum going. How did you feel out there?

ANETT KONTAVEIT: It was definitely a little warmer today, but yeah, I'm very happy with the win. First it was a little tougher but then felt like I got my game going a little bit more and felt like I was playing better as the match went on.

THE MODERATOR: Questions?

Q. I saw on Instagram that you felt like the Tallinn ghost. Colder at home. Coming from New York there is not a lot of opportunities for sun tanning, as well. How are you feeling with that sort of adjustment and how tough is that at the start of the year?

ANETT KONTAVEIT: Yeah, that's why I came here quite early, I think like a week before the tournament, to get used to the warmer weather, you know, the hot conditions.

I think now I'm feeling pretty good. Got a bit of a tan on now and used to the conditions a bit more.

Q. I didn't see Dmitry on the screen of your matches. Is he here?

ANETT KONTAVEIT: Yeah, he's here, yeah.
