Lyudmila Samsonova commented on the victory in the second round of Roland Garros. She beat world number 150 Leire Romero Gormaz 6:3, 6:3.
– It was very difficult for me at the beginning of the match, the opponent turned out to be very uncomfortable. Largely due to the fact that I didn’t know her at all. To be honest, I had never even heard of her before.
When I looked at the schedule and found out who I would be playing with, I turned on her first round match during the physical procedures - to get at least some impression. She`s left-handed, which makes it even more awkward. As the game progressed, when confidence came, it became much easier.
– In the first round, right during the game, you taped your right shoulder, now, in addition to this, you also have tape on your left thigh.
– Every match plus one tape, yes. But in fact, there is nothing serious either here or there. “You just need to rest a little more, ” Samsonova told Sports correspondent Andrei Vasiliev.
