I really tried to put no intensity into this match. As soon as there were points where we started to have hard-hitting extended rallies, I tried to cut things short in a hurry. The last thing I wanted was for him to find his range. |
It's a lot easier when you have the crowd behind you, especially when you lose the first set. I know I am able to beat these kinds of players now. I have a lot of confidence from the start of the year. It's a great start to the tournament and I hope to go further to honor the wildcard I received here. |
