In the next round she will play Linda Noskova, the 19-year-old Czech woman she beat at last year's French Open. “It was actually very difficult to play with Angie,” Raducanu said in her interview. -trial interview, “because she has so much history behind her, and you’re not just playing Angie Kerber, but a person who has achieved all these amazing things. This is really a case where you have to try to collect your thoughts and not lose your temper.”
“It wasn't the most beautiful match, but I was just trying to think about the next point and not get too caught up in thinking because there were very long games that went back and forth. It's difficult to replicate the demands of a match because it's not just hours on the court, it's the stress and nerves that transfer to your muscles.”
