But it wasn’t enough for Ratchinok, who was unsatisfied with her own play after the victory.
“My game was not as well as I wanted it to be. I didn’t feel as well on court as I did yesterday but I tried hard to make it work,” she says and continues.
“This was not my best match. My footwork wasn’t well, but I’m happy that I’m through to the next round. Now I’m aiming for the semifinals,” she says.
