“I was thinking that [to win] two or three matches would have been great, and then I beat Naomi [Osaka] – so then I thought that I was playing well and that maybe I could even do better,” she said post match.

“I’m now just happy to be in the final. It’s an amazing feeling. I can’t believe it. Maybe it’ll sink in later. This is amazing, even if it’s silver or gold, it’s amazing and I’m just very proud.”
