"I'm not going to give up" says Pliskova after after Wimbledon loss

Her result at Wimbledon came as a surprise to many as the grass was never her strongest surface despite having a game that seemingly works well on the surface. She admitted as much saying:

"It's not that I didn't like Wimbledon, but it was never my favourite place. I never played well here. I never felt so good here. But this time I think it changed a bit the feeling about this tournament, the feeling about the people. I think the atmosphere there was just incredible today. Also in the matches which I played the last two, three days."

Pliskova had great support from the crowd throughout the event and she thanked the crowd as emotions overcame her traditionally stoic demeanour:

"I felt so much support from the crowd. Princess Kate [Middleton] was there. I saw all these people just being there. Of course, you think about that. I think I never had a better moment in my career. So of course it makes you a bit, let's say, more sensitive than I normally am. I enjoyed that.

She also added:

"It was not the plan to cry because I don't want to cry on the court. I feel like, 'OK, cry in the locker room, but not on the court.' Somehow I could not. The people, they cheered so much. Just too many emotions."
