“This is an amazing opportunity that I am super grateful for. It’s always been a dream to play at the Australian Open and now that I have that opportunity, I am super excited.
It’s tough, obviously it’s going to be even more pressure [in Melbourne]. I think I’ll just go out there and treat it as a fun opportunity, something that I am grateful for and just do my best.”
