Press Conference

V. MBOKO/S. Kenin

6-2, 6-3

THE MODERATOR: Questions in English.

Q. Was this your latest game ever, and what did you do to spend time waiting for the match?

VICTORIA MBOKO: Yeah, so this was my first-ever I think midnight match. I think it's midnight right now, but yeah, I think this is probably the latest match I've played in my life, so that's a new experience for me.

Throughout the day I kind of -- I had a very long day, and my coaches kind of prepared a little plan for me to take a nap in the middle of the day. I came to train a little bit early, do some fitness. I practiced a little bit later, but I kind of stayed at the hotel a little bit to sleep a lot to prepare for tonight.

Q. So I'm guessing you were here for the whole time the previous match was on. Did you watch the whole time? Did you stay activated? What did you do in the meantime?

VICTORIA MBOKO: Yeah, well, the match before me was Coco and Danielle. So we are waiting kind of watching the whole match just to see when I should warm up. It was like a three-hour long match, so we were waiting for a while.

But I knew I was going to play late anyways regardless of how that match went, So I think I came ready for anything.
