MANAGE PRESSURE

“I remember, when we walked in, to the stadium for the first time, Kipse reminded me of that she was playing, there twenty years ago and, you guys beat the Americas. And she was saying, in this weekend, it's gonna happen again. So, yeah. Her words, were true.”

“As Kim mentioned, Belgium upset The US finalists last year. They have won the Legion King Cup more than any other team 18 times, so it was a big upset. And, Hana got her first top 20 win. She's 21 years old. She's had an incredible season so far. Just broke into the top 100 for the first time.”

“I'm working already a long time with the same team, which I feel really good with. But we always said that if I would get to a point where I would be close to a 100, it would be very good for me to have a ex player in my team, because it's always it's always different to have the opinion of someone who has felt the emotions on court, who who knows how it is to play there, to play for the first time.”

“It's not only, yeah. The the experience. It's also a bit tactical. She or I play a bit like she did. Also using the slice and having to make my opponent play bad, not just winning it by having big strokes because, yeah, a lot of, players have good strokes, nowadays on tour.”

“I went twenty minutes before the match match with Kirsten to the to the court already. There were a lot of people in the crowd and we just stood there for a few minutes. So we talked a bit and she just told me to to enjoy the moment that this is what we all been working hard for.”
