Maya Joint after beating Serena Williams in her comeback singles match at Wimbledon:
Maya: “I don’t know what to say right now. Wow. I don’t know what just happened to be honest. 😂I didn’t get much sleep last night. I was up til like 2 am just thinking about it. Walking out… I forgot the warm up. I don’t know what happened. My legs weren’t moving. I don’t know how I got a pretty good start in the match. She has such an aura. She’s such a legend. This court has so many huge names that have played on it. I’ve been dreaming about this moment since I was a little kid. This is pretty crazy.” 🥹
“What was the toughest part about playing someone that you said was someone you idolized growing up?”
Maya: “I think just trying to come out on court and play a match against her. Just the start was very nerve wracking. Then trying to finish out the match as well. She definitely lifted her level. She played some really great tennis there.” ❤️
