6-4, 7-6

THE MODERATOR: Tough one today. Could you just talk a little bit about the match?

ELISE MERTENS: I mean, it was a tight match. Of course, I knew it was going to be a tough one today, but I gave everything I had. It was a close one at the end. I kept on fighting. I think my level was good.

I knew she was going to raise her level a little bit in the important points, which she did. But nonetheless, I can't complain about the way I played, I think. I'll definitely look a bit at the match and see what I can learn and still improve.
