"I didn't think I liked playing indoors" says Kontaveit after winning 20 indoor matches in a row

Anett Kontaveit won her 20th consecutive match indoors in St. Petersburg and after the match, she admitted not being a fan of indoor tennis not long ago.

After the match, Kontaveit sat down with WTA for their Champions Corner series talking trophies and records. Asked about winning 20 matches in a row Kontaveit admitted not being a fan of indoor tennis until recently:

"No, honestly. I mean, before last year, I didn't think that I like playing on indoor courts that much. So it's just sort of something that's happened. Before this week, I also didn't know about the stats that much."

Asked what she is most proud of, she said:

"I'm very happy to be able to continue this form last year to this year and keep a consistently high level. I think that's the thing that I'm most proud of because I think I think every time a new year starts, you sort of have these doubts and you're not so sure how the year is going to go."

Her coach Tursunov was not with her this week and on that Kontaveit said:

"We analyze the matches and he gives tactical advice and also about how I have to approach the match. I think when you're playing the match you don't think about how to hit a forehand or how to hit a backhand. It's just very important that you're mentally ready to play the game and just ready to fight for everything. That's sort of the point that he's trying to get through, by the phone or if he's here in person"
