“Yeah, probably I should just become a team player now and never play for myself again. I feel like I’m not playing for myself out there. I’m fighting for, you know, all the team and for all Switzerland, for our country. This was like a childhood dream coming true. Hearing the national anthem and watching the Swiss flag, it’s really something big for me."

She added:

“I just feel like it brings out the best, brings out those extra percentages which maybe I cannot bring in the other tournaments. I’ll just need Viki and Jil and Simona and Heinz and Phil in all my matches. If they cannot make it, I’ll just retire.”
