Given everything you have just said and having some tough results this year, how did you turn that around today?
ONS JABEUR: I kept doing what I was doing the last matches. You know, keep fighting. Maybe the light will come up somehow (smiling).
It was really, really tough, because I think the second set I didn't even believe that I could win, but, you know, I remember there was a woman, I know you're going to win, and the team was supporting me.
You know, these moments, you just need one or two chances, one or two points that would make you believe again.
And it's okay. You know, it happens. I don't believe players that go, I always believe.
No, you have this belief somehow (smiling). I feel like it's my duty, and to be honest, for the next generation when they watch you, not to think that everything is perfect on the court. No, there are some tough moments, some up-and-downs, but the most important thing is that you give it all on the court.
I did that in Charleston, but I lost and I'm doing it right now, and I'm keep going and I keep practicing. Even some days I'm not motivated at all. I have thought about withdrawing from this tournament so many times because I couldn't take another loss. You know, it was very, very difficult.
