TENNIS.com caught up with Vallejo ahead of Tuesday’s opening match with No. 20 seed Cameron Norrie.
The moment’s finally here: your first main draw at a Grand Slam event. How are you feeling?
VALLEJO: I’m very excited. I have a first round that’s tough and it’s gonna be a battle. I’m well prepared. I had a good last week, where I made the final in the Valenica Challenger. So I’m with a lot of confidence, getting good sessions with practice. I’m ready.
You mentioned Valencia. With that performance, you broke the Top 70 for the first time. Anything you can point to that’s helped you continue pushing up the rankings?
VALLEJO: I’m competing really well, all the matches. That’s the most important, always, to compete every match. I think I’m doing my best in that. I’m really solid from the baseline right now. Winning a lot matches gives you confidence. I’m happy with that.
