Now let’s take a closer look at the girl behind the tears.
Serena Williams predicted a big future for the up and coming tennis star, who later let reporters know what the star told her in the locker room after the match.
“She said ‘don’t cry, you’re still young … come on you don’t have to cry’,” the Ukrainian said.“She told me a couple of nice words when we met in the changing room.
She said ‘you are young, you are very good and you will be a good player in the future”
“It’s nice to hear those words from a legend. If she thinks so then maybe that’s true. What I’m trying to do is to go to the level that people are going to talk about me the same, that I have something special.”
I think Serena is spot on, she’ll be a good player.
