THE MODERATOR: Cristina, considering you flew from the other side of the world, from Guadalajara, you didn't have much time to get ready, what do you take with you from this competition this week?

CRISTINA BUCSA: Today I felt really good. I've been so impressed how my body adapts so quickly. Yeah, I felt so proud of myself how I manage all the emotions in this tough battle against Linda.

Yeah, I'm pretty proud of myself.

THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.

Q. You were very close in the first set. Can you explain how you kept in it so well, then how it got away from you in the second set.

CRISTINA BUCSA: Yeah, Carla told me to go point by point, to believe I can do it. The first set, yeah, was very close. I was 4-2 in the tiebreak, really close. Suddenly she get that set.

In the second one, we were very tight. She had really good points. That give a little bit of advantage. Yeah, then she was playing free and how was going.

Q. Even though Spain lost today, what are positives you can take away from this week, look to use that in future years?

CRISTINA BUCSA: Yeah, I felt like a good team. My team was supporting me so loud, so much. I felt that passion, that power, that energy on court. It was so beautiful.

Yeah, after coming from Guadalajara was really tough. As I said, I managed so well. I'm happy how my body adapt. I looking forward for Beijing.
