TAN. In a marathon match against Serena Williams, Harmony Tan achieved the feat of her career by eliminating the American legend.
We did not know what this meeting was going to give. Finally, the latter ended at the end of the night after more than 3 hours of play. Opposed to Serena Williams, Harmony Tan alternated the good and the less good, but achieved the feat of her career by eliminating the American who was making his comeback to competition. “It was complicated at first. When the draw came out, everyone said to me: “Oh, you play Serena Williams!” And suddenly, I cut off all social networks because there were so many messages… I didn’t want to pollute my head with that. I did very good training. Even though I thought about it anyway when I woke up this morning (tuesday). At the start of the match, I didn’t really believe it, I was playing a legend, and on the central at Wimbledon. And the more the match progressed, the more I believed in it. I started to think to myself:Maybe you can do it.” Without really believing it. But I won and it’s the best victory of my career. It’s just amazing.”
Asked what she expected from Serena Williams, the Frenchwoman admits having played against an icon. “Anyway, I felt her quite nervous at the beginning. And the more the match went on, the better she felt. But she was tired at the end. Frankly, even though she hasn’t played a match for a year, she plays very well anyway. Playing at 40, for a woman, is incredible! I admire her. She is an icon of women’s tennis. She was not an idol. When I was younger, I admired more Justine Henin or Li Na. My idol was Barty, but she stopped.”
