It was a little bit weird the way she did it, but of course we’re going to give her all the support and I’m very impressed by her career.“
“I don’t think we are conscious of everything she’s achieved. I think she has been playing amazing tennis on all surfaces, and I’m very impressed by the fact she’s won 855 matches in her career and only lost 153. That shows almost every time she stepped on the court she was winning, and of course 23 Grand Slams is something we’ve been talking about, if she was in the same era as Steffi Graf, that would have been an amazing rivalry between them. I hope she will have a nice US Open and we will give her a big round of applause,” Corretja added further.
