Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said after the game, “Serve is so important, she put a lot of pressure on my second serve on the court, I’m really glad she didn’t break my serve in the end, if (the second set) played By 5-4 it’s really sleepy.”
On the tour, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar won all three games against Garcia, and all three games took place in the Grand Slam tournament. If you count the games in his youth, in fact, Abdul-Jabbar had a seven-game winning streak against Garcia. “I’m just going to take advantage of this as much as possible and prepare myself mentally.”
“After Wimbledon, I was under a lot of pressure. I’m relieved now, I’ve done well again. I’m very happy to be in the final here.” (Amber)
