- What are the sensations after the first victory in three months?
- I did not win and did not conduct full -fledged matches from almost Australia. I probably played, probably, two or three fights after the AO in which I lost. And, of course, it was very exciting today [on Wednesday] to play. And still, the feeling that I am not 100% where I want to be. But I just struggled for every point, and it was still already what result. I just wanted to spend as many matches as possible, probably, to play Roland Garros.
- We are worried about your injury. Tell us what happened and how you feel now.
-Yes, I, unfortunately, have some just misfortunes-either viruses, then infections, and because I had immunity weakened, I took antibiotics, I pulled my leg in front of Madrid. The back of the thigh. And in Madrid I did not know whether I could play or not.

It is very easy to lose the whole game form, so I wanted to somehow continue to go out onto the court, although it was not a very good idea, but I still played (lost in the first round of Anastasia Sevastova-athletes ’’). Now here the leg is better, I am dialing, I trained, I have been preparing a lot on our site, but it is clear that you can’t have a form in a week. If everything was so simple. But I`m struggling, getting along, ”Pavlyuchenkova said in an interview with the championship.
