“The support system, especially the coaches, is really important. I wouldn’t be here if they didn’t trust me. That’s what I hold on to—the purpose we have. We always remind each other of it because it feels so much better to play when we know what we’re playing form,” said Carballo, who had 22 excellent sets on top of two points.
