"It was tense," Parry reflects on her victory against Zarazua in the second round of the US Open

It was tense, Parry reflects on her victory against Zarazua in the second round of the US Open

Diane Parry had to work hard but will indeed be present in the third round of the US Open. The Frenchwoman overcame Renata Zarazua in a nail-biting finish (6-2, 2-6, 7-6) after a breathless end to the match.

After her success in the first round against the newly retired Petra Kvitova, it was a completely different story against the Mexican player, but the Nice native managed to maintain her focus until the end to secure the win.

Before facing Marta Kostyuk for a spot in the round of 16 on Saturday, the French player, currently ranked 107th in the world, reflected on her victory after a 2-hour and 45-minute match against Zarazua.

"It was tense. I tried to create opportunities on every return game to get a break ahead and be able to relax, but I didn't manage to do it.

After that, I had to focus on my serve because it was important not to let her hope. The crowd was behind her, and I had to be solid on my serves.

I didn't necessarily want to go to a super tie-break, but I had no choice. After that, I had to give my all on every point, even if it wasn't the best level. It was a small court, but they were loud, let's say.

I expected it, I was prepared for that, but I didn't think it would be so loud, honestly. Still, they remained fair-play. It's normal to cheer for the only Mexican player. Apparently, there are a lot of them here.

Good for her, and I didn't take it badly—it was actually a nice atmosphere. It's better than playing in front of empty stands. With her (Zarazua), you always have to be able to adapt.

At the beginning, maybe I wasn't vigilant enough or relaxed enough. But I felt better and better, and I was able to hurt her with my shots," Parry told L'Équipe.
