Q. What constitutes recovery at this stage of the tournament? Is it simply resting in the hotel?
CLARA TAUSON: I think I have to give the physios one big gift when I’m done here because they’ve really been working with me since the first round. They’ve been helping me and trying to keep me together. We’ll do that again today and tomorrow.
They’re going to get everything. They deserve everything if I win.
“I’m barely one body anymore,” added Tauson, who has won five matches in five days. “I’ve never played so many matches in a row, so we’ll see how I wake up tomorrow. I don’t think it’s going to be great, but I’m going to try my best to keep it together in the final.”
With the clock about to strike 11PM local time, Tauson was resigned to be on site for a few more hours in order to ensure she’s match ready tomorrow.
“What time is it?” she asked as the post-match press conference concluded. “Oh no, I won’t be sleeping great. I’ll try to sleep as long as I can tomorrow but I have a few hours of treatment and then recovery that I have to do after this. It won’t be a great night of sleep.”
We’ll be setting our alarms to to watch Tauson take on Andreeva Saturday night at 7PM local time.
