Toughest loss I’ve ever had on a tennis court, no way around it. Finish line could not have been closer. Felt like a bad dream, one point away, 6 times from making my first grand slam main draw in my home city. Grateful to have an amazing support system around me and appreciate everyone for their kind messages and encouragement this week. Although it hurts like hell, my only option is to keep pushing on. “Persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement” Also nice to remember how far you’ve come sometimes.
