"It’s been four-and-a-half years since I won my first title, and I just finally won my second one.

"All these thoughts that I’ve been having all this time were very tough to overcome, and I’m just very proud of myself that I did it this week.

"I feel like I haven’t really realized what I did this week, and it’s going to take a little bit of time.

"But at the same time, I just want to really enjoy the moment today and tomorrow, and just keep working hard, because I’m sure that more are going to come in the future."
