"I felt good, I felt happy, at one stage she hit me with her head, and I thought my tooth was after coming out, but they are still there, thank God.

The 34-year-old now has a chance to create more history when she fights in Rolland Garros on Tuesday.

"I've always said, I'm not looking at anything other than embracing the moment and enjoying it," she added.

"I know my community is super proud of me whether I win or lose, they are part of me and I am part of them and I honestly can't wait to get home and celebrate this with them."
