Emma, after beating Anisimova, careworn the way it’s all the time tough to play towards a good friend just like the American.
“It’s incredibly difficult when you play with a friend. It adds another dimension to the match. It’s hard to put everything off the court. She’s such an incredible opponent. I knew I had to fight hard, improve my game and not give up in the 2nd set even when things were difficult. I wish her all the best,” defined the younger British participant.
