Nadia highlighted two break points which she managed to save for the 4-1: “It was essential at that moment to maintain serve, I had to save two break points, but it was important because being in the lead then helped me to loosen up more. In general I had several opportunities, I was able to play very aggressively, there were several long points which also served to loosen up a little more. What I save is the mental level to be focused on every point, I was nervous, but always having order and strategy, no matter how wrong or right I was, this gave me confidence.

With this victory, Nadia Podoroska dispelled doubts after last week’s fall in Hobart, where she entered the main draw as a lucky loser but ended up withdrawing on her debut against German Tatjana Maria due to a shoulder problem.
