We reached our first final together and made the quarterfinals at both Grand Slams. Of course, we always want more, but these past few weeks have shown that we\u2019re moving in the right direction.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;A big thank you to Ellen Perez for a great few weeks. I love sharing the court with you, and I\u2019m excited to keep working hard together and chasing even bigger goals.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Now it\u2019s time for me to switch off, recover, and recharge before the next part of the season. And finally, thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way.
