The 20-year-old, who was completely out of action in 2020 due to a knee injury, is still on a comeback. The best tennis is still a long way off, but the Canadian is fighting - which she emphasized after her victory. "I know my game can be better. But I try to find ways to get through on my bad days. And I think I'm doing quite well," she said after the two-hour and 45-minute match Youngsters.
"I think that's what makes a really good player. And I try to be that good player, like in 2019. Today I did that, I'll just keep fighting, the rest will come."
