It is always tough to play against Fabrice. I love to watch him. I think he is one of the most talented players I have ever seen. But to play against him is very tough, almost annoying. You never know what shot he is going to play. It can drive you crazy. |
It was a difficult match that I had to fight through. At the semifinal stage, every match is tough. But I was able to hold the level I've had all week. |
It was a very good match, I played very well during the first set. He seemed tired or asleep or something, so I took advantage of it. |
Mikhail was a very strong opponent today, so I am happy I have won the edge, |
Since I've started this tournament, I haven't always felt that I've been playing very well. I could see it coming. I knew that if I continued playing like that, I wouldn't be able to win again. So I fought as much as I could. I had a number of opportunities, and I didn't take them. Obviously, he used every single chance. And when I was up 4-love, he used all opportunities, and he did the right thing. |
We were so tired after the first set, neither of us could run anymore. He took advantage of that and he deserved it. |
