During her post-match conference at the 2025 Stuttgart Open, she shared about working with Lopez, saying, "I come from a very long relationship with Renzo, so in my opinion, with Marc, we started well with a lot of calmness. We are getting to know each other, and we'll see how it goes. I started thinking about someone who could inspire me. Even instinctively, because I didn't know him, it was a bit of a coincidence, in the sense that I started thinking with the help of my agent, obviously, and that's how we got to Marc, we'll see how it goes.
