“After Wimbledon I saw that I wasn’t going to be in the main draw [of the US Open], so I emailed the tournament [in Newport] and they were kind enough to give me a wild card.
"I knew I had to make the semis in order to reach the main draw, that was the first step. Now I hope that tomorrow I can go one step further”.
