Press Conference

P. BADOSA/T. Townsend

6-1, 6-3

THE MODERATOR: Paula, congratulations. Your first win of the season. Can you talk about the match today and your performance.

PAULA BADOSA: Yeah, it's the first win of the season, but especially for me it's the first win for me after I don't know how many months, six, seven months, struggling with the injury everyone knows. So for me it's very special to be back, to get back a win.

Especially today, I think it was a very tricky match. She's been playing well, especially last week. I was expecting a different kind of match. She's very aggressive. You never know what to expect from her. So I'm really happy that I played pretty well and I stayed very consistent.
