“I played a good match. If I can deliver my performance again, I believe it should be okay.”
“He is an uncomfortable opponent as a left-hander, plays a very flat backhand, is extremely athletic and always presents you with new challenges. I'm relatively tall and have to bend very deep for many balls. My back is unfortunately a bit vulnerable there.”
