Lastly, the Wiener Neustadt-born spoke about what’s to come. “Now I’m improving again and on the pitch you never know what’s going to happen, so I’m just trying to gain confidence, to practice very hard to play games well and then like I said, Wimbledon … I don’t know what it’s going to happen there, but my goal is to play super well again in the later tournament, speaking of the US Open of course. I think that looks pretty good now. “
