I just hit the yellow ball and I don't care who I play: Andreeva during post-match interview

It has been learned that both players have had issues with the same group of people in the stands during the match for making noise. Speaking after the match, Andreeva said that she did not care about her opponent and focused on her game to avoid additional pressure.

"Every time I play this [level] of opponent I try not to think about [their ranking], because it puts more pressure on me. Can I do it? And, I have to take all my opportunities I get. But this time I was like, OK, I just hit the yellow ball and I don't care who I play,” the Russian said during the on-court interview.  

"Honestly, the first set just went so fast. She did also amazing hitting. I pushed myself to be more aggressive, and pushed more on the first shots to make her less comfortable,” she added.
