Talking about the run-in with Coach Cash
“I have been precipitation and running in, and I have to integrate what the coach told me. Maybe the forehand is better today, and the backhand is better tomorrow, but it is not easy to integrate everything together, so take it easy now.
There is a feeling of starting over, breaking the whole original. If you want to improve, don’t break it, don’t stand up, I do want to change some things. I don’t know what you think, but I feel that my original style of play is indeed a little boring. After changing my skills and tactics, I will find tennis a little more interesting. In the long-term comfortable situation, there is no freshness. Now the coach has been making me learn things, and I quite like this feeling. “
Talking about homesickness and quarantine policies

Today, I will be in a better mood. Better. I’ve been on the road now, and I don’t have a psychological break. I chat with many Chinese players, and everyone still wants to go back to China to rest, because we are very tired. Under the high pressure situation, we need psychological rest. Feel at home, feel the warmth of home, don’t need too much, just two or three days, feel getting along with family.
It’s hard for me to travel around the world with my family, and I can’t take my mother to play football all year round. It’s not fair to her, then she and my dad will always be separated, and we will be together for a long time, and conflicts will easily arise. “
Talk about playing with Bencic
“I was a little angry after losing the second set yesterday, and I adjusted myself in time. During this period, I was under a lot of pressure. I kept thinking about tomorrow’s game, and there was only one game left, so I didn’t have much time to adjust my state.
I just want to make tennis easier to play. Thinking too much is not conducive to performance. No matter yesterday or today, just let the flow take its course and play according to the first feeling when the ball comes.
can win this game. She defeated a player with a higher ranking, and she did not beat a player ranked higher than her this year, so she was quite happy. ” (Interview text via Full Tennis Felix)
