A great day in the career of Kaitlin Quevedo after a resounding victory in the Madrid WTA 1000 against Venus Williams. Of course, the match was played at the Manolo Santana to crown one of those performances she will never forget.

How many more times will Venus Williams play on Spanish soil? Possibly, this Tuesday, April 21st may have been the last, so Kaitlin Quevedo can be very proud to have been the last player to face her and, moreover, to defeat her on the court. A triumph for the Canary Islands native that positions her once again as one of the great revelations of the season, getting closer every day to the top 100 and gradually maturing into the great competitor she has hinted at since her junior days. Did you know that she is now the youngest Spaniard in history to achieve a victory in the Madrid WTA 1000? Another very special achievement to add to her resume.

With the mixed zone quite crowded and the anticipation of welcoming the one who was Spain's great savior in the last Billie Jean King Cup tie, Kaitlin's figure appears accompanied by her team with a big smile. She still can't quite believe what happened a few minutes ago, perhaps she hasn't even stopped to think about it, but the fact is that her record now includes a victory against one of the best players of the Open Era. Smiling, humble, and very ambitious, that's how the 20-year-old player expressed herself after her most emblematic triumph in her short career.

Kaitlin Quevedo analyzes her victory over Venus Williams

"I'm very happy with today's match, playing against a legend like her doesn't happen every day, I'm very happy to be here and have the opportunity to compete for another round here. I tried to focus on my own game, not thinking too much about her because it's really intense to have her on the other side, it's a bit intimidating. I've been super focused on my tennis, point by point, and now I'm looking forward to preparing for the next challenge."

The thrill of playing on the Manolo Santana

"It's been incredible, the court is huge, I think it's the biggest court I've ever played on. It's been impressive, I felt a lot of support, I'm very happy. I read that I'm the youngest Spanish player to win a match in this tournament, so I can only feel happiness to see myself in this position. I'll try to keep going in the draw. I know all the work I've put in to get here, so I have to continue on the same path."

Her best triumph ever?

"I think this could be the number one, it's incredible to play against a player like Venus Williams, it's an experience I had never had before. The truth is, when the draw came out and my coach told me I'd be playing against her, I couldn't believe it. It's very special, I'll enjoy it as much as I can."
