Colombian tennis player Camila Osorio appreciated the positive experience of her time at Roland Garros despite being knocked out in the second round of the tournament on Wednesday and assured that she was “very excited” to return next year.
“I stick to the positive”, Osorio told the press after his defeat against Belgium’s Elise Mertens 6-3, 7-6 (3), in a match that lasted two hours and three minutes.
Still, he confessed that he would have liked “to get ahead more”, because although “I felt good playing the last games, but not today.”
“It wasn’t my day, I wasn’t comfortable at all. I tried to turn it around, I tried to fight to the end with what I had, but it wasn’t enough for me,” he admitted.
But he remembered playing many matches in different tournaments in recent weeks, including his adventure at Roland Garros and “I’m fine.”
Osorio regretted having several in several games in the second set to break his rival’s serve and score the set. “I was awake, but I wasn’t feeling well,” he recalls, before complaining that “I had a lot of ‘opportunities’ and they slipped away.”
“I will take what I tried to do. I would like to learn from this and correct” to better deal with negative situations on the field.
Her main lesson from this elimination is that “if you don’t take a risk, you don’t win”, in addition to “I need to have more confidence in myself,” explained the 21-year-old from Cucuta.
She recalled that it was “a blessing” to make it to the finals despite losing in the last qualifier, but she was invited by the organization due to the injury of American Caty McNally.
Camila Osorio stressed that this Parisian experience gives her more encouragement to keep working harder in search of a leap into international tennis, where she is now ranked 86th in the WTA.
“They say if luck befalls you that it catches you at work, I work every day,” he said.
He also appreciated the good situation Colombian tennis is currently in as “we are getting more and more players”.
He recalled that this year Dani Galán was in the main draw, as well as Emiliana Arango and Nico García in the qualifying phase, and there are also several players in the doubles competition.
“Little by little we entered. It is difficult, like everything, but I have a lot of faith in Colombian tennis,” he added, before reflecting that “the good moment of Argentine tennis serves as a mirror” for us , especially in the clay court tennis circuit.
After Paris, he said he has not yet decided whether he will participate in a 125 tournament in Reus (Spain) or start preparing for the grass season: “I’m going to rest, I’m going to take the time to make the decision. of his game or I prepare”.
