I am impressed. Really impressed. WOW.
A bit of nerves in the first set but played pretty well.
The second set she went toe to toe with one of the best players in the world. Had some great serves, great returns and made some great shots. That has to be a huge boost to her confidence. I CAN do well at this level !!! I just have to play that well every set and I CAN play that well in every set with just more practice, more matches, etc.
Her opponent has done really well in Grand Slams the past few years. She has played and beaten some of the best players in the world many times. Experienced enough not to panic. But I wonder if, during the second set, she wondered to herself - 'who IS this girl ???".
The crowd, many who probably came to watch the #1 seed and expected a blow out, ended up seeing some great tennis in the second set !!!
Great match, Carson !!!!!!!!!!
Gig 'Em !!!!!!!
