Jaimee Fourlis: This year has been a roller coaster
The third seed at this week's Australian Open Play-off, Jaimee Fourlis spoke with Tennis.com.au about her aspirations, reviewing her season and speaking about the year ahead.
Reviewing her 2018 season, she said, “It was my first full year on the pro circuit since finishing school and it’s kind of been a little bit of a roller-coaster. There’s been some really high highs and of course there’s always some really low lows that kind of nobody does see. Overall I think it’s been a really good year – I did crack the top 200 for a little bit and I’m just outside now.”
Playing at the US Open, though in the qualifiers, she spoke about her experience playing at the highest level. “It was really good; I didn’t expect myself to qualify or even win a round (laughter) so seeing how well I did, I kind of have to look back on that year and be quite happy, be content with what I’ve done. It was a great week and I really did enjoy it.”
This also happened to be her highlight of the year.
Speaking about her targets for 2019, “That’s a good question … of course it’s to improve the ranking, I think that’s everyone who plays tennis, (the aim is) to get a high ranking, hopefully to be able to consistently get into qualifying of Slams, or even main draw would be really good. My ranking will get me into Brisbane qualies and Aussie (Open) qualies, so I’m really looking forward to that – I can’t wait.”
