"Couple of words to my team. You did a bad job today. Wow. 6-0, 6-3. That's all your fault guys," she said laughing.
"Well, honestly I don't know where to start. First of all, Elena wow. Thank you for those 3 games at least. We made it look like a fight. Great job, congrats to you and your team on an amazing week. And see you in Melbourne," she added.
