I needed to be match, so after that, I do know I went a bit loopy.

But honestly, I gotta say that I really, I feel like this last couple of weeks, they were already, like, the best part of my season, and I really enjoyed myself on the court, even though I didn’t expect that on grass. So I just want to literally, like, get back on court and have these feelings again.
