“He wasn’t coming off a very good streak.. I was playing in Europe, in Spain, seven or eight future games that went to three straight sets and the truth is I wasn’t very happy but I’m working. It’s good that the third set was given in ATP “, he mentioned after consummating his victory.
“Facing Felix is something incredible, he is one of the best in the world. I dreamed of playing against the best and now I am going to do it,” he added.
I was not used to playing in these big events, but the public shouted confidence at me and remembered me and I am very grateful to them that they pushed me even more.
