I knew if I gave it my all I would have a chance to win, Arina is a great player, it’s fair No1 is deserved, congratulations to her team for the result. First of all thanks to my parents, today is the first time I saw my father cry. Thank you for believing in me from the beginning.
A big thank you to my team as well. Thank you for everything you have done for me, I know it has been a long time, thank you so much. Thanks also to the people who didn’t believe in me, a month ago I won the tournament in Washington and three weeks later I’m here with this trophy. I try humbly and think that those who don’t believe me help me keep the flame alive».
