I tried to stay in the match, obviously knowing I wasn’t playing my best. However, I tried to stay there with the right attitude. I know him. He is a very, very nice person, a hard worker. He is obviously a very, very good player.
I knew it was going to be tough. Happy to be in the next round.”With the victory against the Colombian, the number one of Italy guaranteed himself the quarter-finals, already conquered last year.He explains the reason for these achievements at the press conference: “I really like playing here.
The atmosphere is also very special. This year maybe even more because I came here with a little more preparation on the grass.I’ve played an extra tournament or two, so it’s a bit different. I’m just trying to stay positive at all times.
Best-of-five is obviously a little different. You have a little more time to adjust to all players.”
