It is my first final of the year so I am excited to be playing in it. I am looking forward to tomorrow. The result will help me in my confidence and my ranking.

It's really exciting. If I have to be honest, two months ago they were writing at home that it was over for me and that I won't play any more. But I think I am starting to play good.

I had a lot of fun. This week was really good. I am happy that I made it to the final. My first final I only won two games then my second final I won seven games, now I make it to three sets, hopefully the next one will be a win for me.

One of our problems is the culture of Brazil which focuses on men's football. Of course we would like to change that. Maybe one day we will have a strong competitive league instead of our women footballers always having to play abroad.

Never give up, and be confident in what you do. There may be tough times, but the difficulties which you face will make you more determined to achieve your objectives and to win against all the odds.

We all have obstacles. The feeling of satisfaction comes by overcoming something.
