I forgot to post this interview I will post it now, very interesting thoughts from Yulia Putintseva regarding her win over Coco Gauff at Cinncy the interview was carried out at the Tennis Channel by Prakash Amritraj.
Your not afraid of the big moment.You took out Iga Swaitek at Wimbledon and now Coco Gauff here.When you step into a match against a top player, that belief is never an issue for you.
Yulia,
Since I was a little kid, only my parents believed in me. They said I was able to do well with my height.Even though I'm smaller than the other ones in the group. My father was like You're the best.Otherwise its not gonna work.And I was always putting that in my head.That I always have to fight.If I fight and if I'm there at every point I can do it.
Today the game of tennis is 80% mental, and I have spoken that 'the belief' in any player is vital, you can have all the weapons in your game, unless you have that 'Belief' it just wont work.
