I adapt more to the match for the second set.
I'm used to putting so many things aside to be able to compete.
I let my racket do the talking.
I take every match as a final. It's very important.
I grew up, and my body was not like a Spanish player. I was tall. I had a powerful game; my arms were long, so I'm like, 'No, you can't play like Spanish players.'
I was always following my brothers. If my brothers hadn't played, I never would have picked up a racket. Tennis isn't the most popular sport in Venezuela.
With the time, as I was growing up and I got taller and my arms were longer, I developed this aggressive style because I think it was better for me, for my style of game.
When you're a kid and practice on clay, you're always, 'Oh, I wish I could win Roland Garros.'
Finally a Spanish girl can play on grass.
When I came to Spain, I joined a tennis academy, and that was where I learnt the game.
