THE MODERATOR: What are your thoughts about the match? A very tight match, almost more than one hour and a half, and the second set had the tiebreak. What is your opinion about the match?
JAQUELINE CRISTIAN: Yeah, I mean, obviously I'm disappointed with my performance today. I felt like I couldn't really enjoy the match. I couldn't fight the way I'm used to do it.
She played also pretty good. She was serving well. She was doing her job. I mean, yeah, I don't know. I missed way too much, and I was not in my best. Let's say that I felt a bit the pressure, and I couldn't manage it like I wanted to.
But, you know, it's tennis, and Billie Jean King Cup is always about emotions also, and it's a bit different than a normal tournament.
But on the other side, I'm happy that it's a teams tournament and everything is possible, and we keep believing and we keep fighting until the end.
