“It was a difficult game for me, but I will take positive things and lessons from it. I will continue.

— Congratulations on the magnificent Roland Garros. How did you manage to win the first game and what changed in the second and third? – The first game was tough, we were constantly breaking. I just played, there was such a game going on, in the first set, I probably hooked the net twice in a row.

I don’t know, I just played and that’s how I won the first game, which lasted an hour. But I felt that to win the match, it was not enough to win a game. I tried to play, but something didn’t work, I got upset and I didn’t think about the game anymore, only about my mistakes. And I went too deep into it.
