THE MODERATOR: Questions in English.
Q. Well played today. Congrats on the win. You came out really fast. I just wonder, how much was that your mindset, knowing that a point could be so important today?
LUCIA BRONZETTI: Yeah, was my first match in singles in the Billie Jean King Cup, so the tension was high and also the pressure.
But I said to myself to give my 100%, to fight for every point. At the end, the result is just a result. I mean, I won, so I'm so proud and happy, because I love to play for Italy. I love to play in this team. So, yeah, keep going.
Q. In that second set, you had a really good lead, 4-1, and then it got a bit more complicated. I wonder, how did you keep your focus and your belief, as well, that you could get it done in two sets?
LUCIA BRONZETTI: Yeah, I think that she played a little bit better in since 4-1, and yeah, maybe she played better. I was a little bit in tension, but at the end, I said, okay, you are in the court, you have to fight, and if you fight for every point, you go out from the court, that you are okay with yourself.
So, yeah, just play every point and that's it.
