Quotes

• 2022 was so amazing that I don't know if it's going to be possible for me to repeat a season like that.
• I just didn't feel at the end like I'm in the shadow anymore because I knew that I'm having another great season. And honestly, I kind of accepted that I'm not going to have a season like that, like in 2022, and I just looked forward.
• I learned my lesson and this time I didn't want [the No.1 ranking] to have an impact on me.
• The conditions here were kind of tricky - it helped me to just focus on my footwork, my shots, and that just kept me busy from thinking about all of that
• Coming back to world No. 1, it's a dream come true for sure. I would say I wasn't expecting that right now this season. I was kind of hoping that maybe next year is going to be my year.
• But it seems like I'm just working hard and focusing on the right things and work. So I'm really happy.
