wahoo I can't believe! I had to pinch me this morning when I woke up!! Win a grand slam junior, it's already magic, but it's especially the fact to win this at home in France in front of a disgust crowd and with the way since i had good behaviour and i had fight spirit... I felt a big emotion in winning this finale, I think everybody saw that because I finished being in tear, it's suprising for me...I think it was a mixed of joy, satisfaction, but also relief because I can't deny that I put on me a lot of pressure for this, I couldn't consider lost at the last step of my objective...Well now I'll have to come down on the Earth or on the grass because next week start the qualy of Wimbledon and I don't want to stop here and I want to confirme so on WTA Tour, at least try...I'll let you, I have just come back home and I am going to enjoy my victory...A last word to wish good luck to all people are going to do the bac, I am with you.
See you
