Tennis: 18-year-old American Taylor Townsend, who made headlines and caught attention of people when she knocked out Alize Cornet at French Open, has revealed her love for Wimbledon.
Asked if she thought she could be a force at Wimbledon which starts in two weeks' time she replied: 'If I got a wildcard into Wimbledon, I would pass out right now. Honestly, that would make my day. Wow!
'Wimbledon is like my favorite tournament, I swear, I love the grass. I just love the tournament, the atmosphere.
'That would mean the world to me if I got a wildcard just because I just love the tournament so much. I love grass. I have done well in the juniors there.
'So I just love the atmosphere. That would -- oh, my God, I'll probably cry. I'm not a crier, either. So that means a lot.'
Townsend has high hopes and believes she can do well. She said,
'I do. I mean, honestly, I wouldn't be here if I didn't feel in my gut, in my heart, that I could do this. I wouldn't have turned pro if I didn't feel that way,' she said.
'I mean, this is a far trip. It's very expensive. It's far away from home. My phone doesn't work!
'I believe 100% in myself that I can do great things. But it's a matter of time. I have to trust the process, trust the work that I'm doing and understand that it is a long process, and, you know, it doesn't happen overnight.'
