7-5, 6-3

THE MODERATOR: Elena, just talk a little bit about your singles. Great, great performance for you and the win for Kazakhstan with that win.

ELENA RYBAKINA: Yeah, it was not an easy match. First one is always tough. Dart was playing really well, especially second set. I was a bit up and down. I lost few games on my serve, but overall, I think it was a good match for me for the first one.

THE MODERATOR: For the captain, after the performance of your girls today, how confident are you facing your next opponent?

CAPTAIN YAROSLAVA SHVEDOVA: I'm happy that we could succeed in the first day, and hopefully the girls have some energy for tomorrow, because it's going to be not easy one. Hopefully we will be done the same like today and just enjoy the doubles.

THE MODERATOR: Questions in English.

Q. One for more the captain. After what you have seen today from your team, how far do you think you can go in this tournament?

CAPTAIN YAROSLAVA SHVEDOVA: We can win it. Like every team, we can also win it.
