“The game was difficult at the start and tense at the end. Is that how you felt?
Yes, it was a tough game. The conditions here are unusual. With the altitude, the balls fly (Sofia is 590 meters above sea level). And then he already had matches in his legs when I had only been able to do one training session. It was complicated. It’s the end of the year and I’m out of fuel.
At the end of the match it seemed like you were fighting as much against your opponent as against yourself.
Despite the interruption due to Covid, the season is long. It’s been intense since the recovery in the USA. I still decided to come and have a go. But it’s always difficult to travel and there is the constant stress of the test. All this is wearing out in the long run.
The season is long, also because you are going quite far in tournaments now …
Yes and it’s because I’m on a good roll that I decided to come to Sofia which is the last tournament of the year. I wanted to enjoy it a bit before cutting. The rest is rather vague. We will have to cut, but we won’t have much time before getting into the preparation for next season, which will also be short. For Australia, even if they are working very seriously on it, we do not yet know how exactly it will go with quarantine. We will probably be fixed in the days or weeks to come, because it happens very quickly. “
