World #63 Stefanie Voegele is a very calm person on and off the court, whether she’s on the receiving end of a horrendous call or discussing her favorite ‘current’ TV show, “Friends”.
Tonight, she faced Julia Goerges in a much-delayed quarterfinal in Charleston. After a 1-5 start to the first set, she beat Julia Goerges 3-6, 6-1, 6-3. Before that, she knocked out Teliana Pereira in three and upset 7 seed Carla Suarez Navarro in straights. She’ll face Caro Wozniacki in the quarterfinals.
I sat down with her on Monday afternoon. Here’s her thoughts on the Memphis Massacre of a call by Gigi and how she rebounded from it. She did admit to watching the replay.
