Garbine speaks

I had the hardesyt match today against Venus. She's such an incredible player.

I grew up watching her play so it was so hard playing her today.
She was an inspiration, and I feel incredible to play her here.

I was nervous of course. I always dreamed to play here, but I was composed I guess.

The first set was very tough and we both had lots of chances, but I'm glad I made it.

I want to thank my team that's here - Conchita, my physio. All the team.

Two years ago I lost in final to Serena and she said I would win one today, and two years later here I am. There will be a big party to celebrate for sure.

Venus speaks

Congratulations Garbine, amazing. I know how hard you work and
I'm sure this means so much to you and your family. Well done today, beautiful.

Thank you to my team who've been here day in day out. And my family,
I love you guys. We've had lots of beautiful moments in the past week.

I miss you Serena. I tried to do what you do but I think there will be other opportunities.
