This is Wimbledon. It's the granddaddy of them all. My mom always said she wanted me to play at Wimbledon... This is definitely one of the most coveted trophies right here.
We don't like first sets. That is something we've learned this year especially ... we should just not play the first set. But we know we can battle back no matter what.
There is nothing - no deficit - that is going to scare Kristen.
Nuss swung above her size, disguising her shots by glancing one way and spiking the ball the other.
