Lea Ghirardi-Rubbi

LEA GHIRARDI-RUBBI: She says I was trying to think nothing, just play point by point, but then at 5-Love I had began to doubt and I thought myself it couldn't go on and this was my mistake. It was a big mistake.

LEA GHIRARDI-RUBBI: She says had her -- she hits really, really hard and at the beginning -- in the beginning I was playing well, but she was making a lot of errors and then she started to hit really, really long and really hard and I was doing all the running.

LEA GHIRARDI-RUBBI: Yes. The answer is yes. But she said the mistake I made was that I kept waiting for her to keep making errors and that was my mistake. I should have gone trying to do -- to go for the points.
