It was a very difficult game for me

“Yes, it was a difficult game for me, but I will take positive things and learn from it. I’ll keep going.”

It was a very stupid gesture on my part

“Yes, right after i thought that was a really stupid move on my part, because it was not necessary to do it. Yeah, so that wasn’t the best I could do. What I did was very bad. Yes, I had thoughts like this, but he just gave me a warning.”

I went alone to play, I had no pressure

“I had the same feeling inside. I went alone to play, and after winning the first set I realized that I can win a match. At first, I was just playing, and I didn’t expect to win or lose. He was just playing. After the first set I won, I realize that I can really win this match. So I got a little nervous about not missing this opportunity“.

I get a lot of positive things out of the tournament

“Yes, I can get a lot of positive things out of here. Past ratings. I won a couple of great matches. Yes, sure there are many positive things to take. But, that yes, and many things also to take away from this game. But hey, we’ll keep working. I will realize what I did wrong and correct it. So I hope all is well afterwards.”
