THE MODERATOR: Let's start the press conference with English questions.

Q. Congrats on the win. What are your emotions and your reflections on that match and how you executed it?

REBECCA SRAMKOVA: I still have no words (smiling). I was in the zone today. She's anyway amazing player, all respect to her.

I was just playing unbelievable today, so I'm so happy I got the chance after a few years, and I showed what I played the whole year.

Q. That first set went by pretty quickly, and then the second set was a complete back-and-forth, back-and-forth. What was going through your mind? How were you kind of keeping calm in those moments?

REBECCA SRAMKOVA: She changed a few things. We discuss with the coach. It was about tactic.

But at the end, anyway, I was struggling with it, but I made it so.

Q. I don't know if you noticed, she was quite upset at points in that set. Is that something that you were aware of, or were you...

REBECCA SRAMKOVA: She was upset?

Q. Yeah.

REBECCA SRAMKOVA: I didn't see. I was just looking at the coach and our players. So I didn't see her, what is she doing.

Q. Just finally, you said you were in the zone. Have you felt that good all season, or is this a match highlight for you of the season?

REBECCA SRAMKOVA: This is the cherry on the top, this match (smiling). But I was playing, I was feeling so good on the court last two or three months. I played good at Rome and Roland Garros, as well. So I hope that I will just keep going like this.
