Muguruza On The Court
‘Well, I think the crowd was obviously tough for me. I understand. I just think they were sometimes a little bit disrespectful. The chair umpire has to always calm the crowd. I’m not here to create enemies. I mean, I love playing here. Is not a good feeling so…..’
‘I wasn’t expecting to play on that court. I had so many matches on Lenglen. I had big wins and big loss, so it didn’t really matter. I just think it was a tricky round. Nothing went my way today.’
Muguruza On Nerves
‘I obviously was a little bit nervous. Through the match I was getting more and more. Also because the feeling. So it’s true that I couldn’t really find my game, but I don’t think I did really something wrong out there. You know, I just think it went to her side and that’s all.’
