Who is your favorite athlete? “[Novak] Djokovic because he plays good. I think he’s a good person because a lot of young players become crazier as they become famous, so I don’t want to become like that. I want to stay a good person like him and work hard.”
Who is your role model? “Serena Williams because she is a great fighter. She works hard and I want to work hard, too.”
What was the best advice you’ve been given and by whom? “My coach, Sonia [Hahn], said not every day you’ll play good, but you need to find a way to and a way to win, even if you’re not having a good day.”
When did you begin playing tennis, and why? “I began at 4 years old. My family plays and I like to play, so I continued since that time and I wanted to come here to continue and do my school at the same time.”
What’s your favorite place to hang out on campus? “The library is really cool.”
How do you feel being a part of this team? “It’s really good. The girls are nice. We work hard and we all have the same objective, so we work together and we’re close, so it’s great.”
What are your personal goals for this season? “Try to do my best, achieve my goals and win.”
