I feel like at this stage in my career, and playing the top players in the world, I realised I really need someone right now that has had that WTA Tour experience at ther high levels, which means that I’m looking for someone who has been at that level and knows what it takes.
And especially right now because I’m so new to it, I really need someone to guide me who’s already been through that.”
