It was a close match and then three minutes later it was over. I need to keep playing at this level. Sooner or later I know I'm going to play well again. |
It was a very difficult match. He was a rival I didn't know and hadn't played before. |
It was very hot and humid out there and I started badly, my legs were a bit weak when we finished the first set. |
It's incredible. (He) could have won just as easily. But things went my way and I had the luck of the tiebreak going in my favor. |
It's incredible. I played with confidence and very well. I managed to save the first set and I was lucky to break his serve and level the score. |
My shoulder is going to be this way for the rest of this tournament. If the match is long, it does hurt a little bit. But for the moment, it doesn't hurt. |
The Davis Cup is my dream. I can't ask for more. There is nothing bigger than what I've lived today. |
The fact that we know each other very well is better for the one who has a lower ranking. In this case, it's me. |
There were some points I thought the ball wasn't coming back, but it came back fast. I had to (perform) miracles to win every game. |
They really know tennis games, |
This has been incredible -- the moment I've been waiting for (for) years, |
Today, I was feeling comfortable. I wasn't afraid to keep the point going. I just waited for my chance. |
Two things happened tonight. He played well but most importantly I didn't. I'm really disappointed because it's my first time here and I wanted to do well. Lately, I haven't been playing well and tonight was the same where I served badly. |
You have to have a great day and be 100 percent to get past him, |
You have to play perfect and wish that he is not going to be at his best. I think today these two things happened. |
