Absolutely. It brought me luck. Maybe he will see it on the court and it will give me an advantage to win the first set. |
Actually, I like it. It's a little different. |
Andre was saying I should give it to the women's locker room. |
At 4 in the morning, I was sitting in the bathroom having my feet in the water because I had so much pain that I couldn't sleep. I had a really bad blister on my feet. Then all day I was basically taking care of my feet and went for a swimming pool, had a massage, was worrying if I will be even able to run on the court. In the end, I was really happy the way I played. I mean, I had the pain, but I overcame it and I tried to fight to win the match. |
Even when I was losing ... I still had the feeling that he cannot hurt me. Either I can win the match, or I can lose the match. Sometimes I was a little surprised at how slow he played the balls. |
He was one step ahead of me. I didn't have enough power to keep going. |
I didn't play my best. I made many mistakes against him. I had a couple of chances in the second set where I had the feeling I could turn the match the other way and I made two mistakes. |
I don't feel like I made the mistakes to lose the match. I think he played well to beat me. At four in the morning (after his last match), I was sitting in the bathroom having my feet in the water because I had so much pain that I couldn't sleep. I had a really bad blister on my feet. Then all day I was basically taking care of my feet and went for a swimming pool, had a massage, was worrying if I will be even able to run on the court.

I don't really know what the design means, if it's only an idea or if it had any purpose in the beginning. Or somebody was trying to make a smiley face in the back. The shirt itself is actually nice. You don't sweat as much. Also, you don't feel the heat that much. |
I don't think he improved that much in the last couple years. The game is improving every year, and you have to make adjustments. |
I feel tired. It's not easy to get the body back to be really fresh. Every match now is going to hurt because my body's tired. But I'm used to it. |
I made big mistakes today. I had opportunities but didn't do anything. It just wasn't my day. |
I played very well from the baseline today. That was a key to the match and I started to serve better as the match went on. |
I was already tired after the second five-setter, it was already quite enough. |
It was a fantastic atmosphere, they were pushing me all the way, I couldn't wish for more. This was the biggest victory for me. |
