About this episode

Violeta Martinez discusses her performance in the NCAA Championship and her growth as a player.

I spoke to Violeta Martinez after the Aggies 4-1 win over the Auburn Tigers, a match in which she got a 7-5, 6-1 win over Ashton Bowers. Martinez went 3-0 on the weekend with wins over Anna Frey, Sofia Rojas and Bowers, and was a key piece in the Aggies championship run. We talk about her weekend, her progression as a player and her views on believing in herself and her teammates.
