CELINE NAEF: Yeah, I mean, for me it was very good experience. I saw I'm on this level. Yeah, maybe in some points I need to believe a bit more that I can do it and I'm at this level, but it definitely showed me that I'm at this level, and yeah, I think with the time I will do it (smiling).
Q. What's it like playing Danielle Collins? Is she unique in the way that she plays compared to other players you have played? I know you're still quite new to the tour, but what's it like playing somebody with such power?
CELINE NAEF: I think, I mean, she has a lot of experience, so I think in the tough moments she believed that she can hit the ball in the court. Of course she's playing fast and going for the point.
Yeah, I don't know. I like to play against someone like her (smiling).
Q. On the match today, the first set was super close. Perhaps could have gone either way. What sort of happened in that sort of beginning of the second set, losing those first few games there?
CELINE NAEF: I felt it was very close also in the second set. She played very well in the important points.
Yeah, I tried my best, but in the second set it was not enough.
