Aussie wildcard Taylah Preston has spoken following her three-set Australian Open win – her first victory at a grand slam.
“I’m just really, really happy to get the win today. My first grand slam win. It means a lot. I’ve put a lot of hard work in, it’s really nice,” Preston said.
“Sometimes I’m calm, sometimes I’m not. I think at the end of the third there I started getting a little bit nervous. I try not to think about it and think about playing the point and maybe I did it OK.”
She thanked her family for their support, saying they rarely get to see her in action live.
“To have my parents and my sister here is really nice. They don’t get to see me play too much live. It’s great to have them all here,” she said.
