Jaqueline Cristian’s reaction after her huge win over Barbora Krejcikova

After qualifying for the third round of the WTA tournament in Madrid, Jaqueline Cristian dedicated her huge victory over Barbora Krejcikova, who was to support her in the match.

“Yes, I entered a bit excited and again I was not finding the court too easily in the first set. There were also a lot of things going on, it was difficult, with the people from the back match, the noise was really terrible, but please, I couldn’t complain about this thing because she was also complaining at the same time, and I said: OK, we’re both in this situation, so I have to manage somehow.

But after that, little by little, I started to feel better and I also realized the tactical plan I have to play with her after the first set. And I stayed at the fight, as you know, I like to fight (no laughs).

After that, in the second set, I was more positive, I had a better attitude, I believed in myself, I said that I have nothing to lose. For that I won three matches, to reach the 2nd round and play. I started to gather my game, I didn’t even hear the back stand.

Tactically, I had to play a little more on the lapel, be more consistent with my serve, I had to be more attentive to her slices. I found my favorite services, the paid ones. I thought we both struggled at work.

Before a blow there was a gust of wind and slag came into my eye, I wanted to get it out and I rubbed my eye and made it worse. After that I could no longer keep my eye open and they gave me some drops, artificial tears and lubricated my eyes.

This made me very happy. I heard a lot of Romanians, including those who water the fields are Romanians, it feels like they really help a lot.

Jaqueline Cristian: “He came with that pure love”

Mom came to this tournament with all the luck in the world. She came with that pure motherly love, she came to support her cub and I’m fine. Dad is here at the game too, but it’s a bit more emotional. I talk to him after the games.

I’m very happy, but I’ll tell you honestly, the way I’ve been training lately, since I changed my coach and the vision he has on the game and the way I feel on the field, since I’m actually dying at practices, when I play with these girls, it seems to me that I really have a place. I mean even today I was thinking that in some rallies I had a harder time against the coach in training than with her and I said Jaq, you have to sit and be realistic.

In the end, if you can do it in training, you can do it in the match, that’s clear. But normally I’m very happy, I still don’t feel like I’m 100 percent with how I’m playing in training and that’s why I really don’t want to put expectations on myself or anything.

However, it is a good feeling that I have and that I follow and that gives me a lot of confidence, because in the end, yes, the matches won help you a lot, but the routine and training you have behind you, those s base.

I don’t want to think about setting limits, I take it day by day. Tomorrow I have a day off and I can go to training a bit more, but it’s good, I have a good feeling”, said Jaqueline Cristian, after the match with Barbora Krejcikova.
