ball fast few finally happy hurt nervous recovered seconds
I was like, you know, embarrassed a little bit. The ball was so fast and I was really nervous because I thought I can really hurt him. But finally after a few seconds he just recovered and I was happy because of that.
break game match playing second third
The match was close, but after I got the break (in the second game of the third set), I had a lot of confidence. I was playing better and better.
attacking broke felt hard match returning second serve time won
The match at the time was more my way. After he broke me to go (up) 3-1 and I broke him back, I felt pretty good. But once he won the second set, the match was completely different. I was having a hard time attacking him. He was returning my serve very well.
The are his friends. They want him to win.
playing rain rhythm took
The rain took my rhythm off, ... At the same time, he started playing great.
attack bit good great move played serve
He?s a great player. He played very good from the baseline, so what I have to do is attack and play my tennis, which is serve and volley a little bit and try to move him from the baseline.
against difficult happy won
I am happy I won but it's always difficult to play against a friend. I was lucky.
break few game great last match miss opportunity serves serving third win
I was serving very good. After I get the break in the third set, for sure, I feel more confident. Especially the last game of the match I really feel like I will not miss the opportunity to win because I had a few great serves at the time.
against knew surface
The surface was very fast, but we knew that before... I have nothing to say against the surface, it was the same for him as for me.
good lost week
The week was good. I lost in the final, but overall, it was a good week and good preparation for the U.S. Open.
hurt nervous
I was really nervous because I thought I can really hurt him. I was embarrassed a little bit.
best definitely favorite grass indoor prefer results
I prefer hardcourts (more) than clay. My best results have always been on grass or indoor tournaments or hardcourt tournaments, so (it?s) definitely my favorite surface.
against ball coming finally four hit points three tough until winners
He's very quick, and when you hit the winners the ball is always coming back and you have to hit another winner and then another one, so it's tough to play against him, ... You have to win the points always three or four times until you finally win the point.
good
Good question, so many times. I don?t know.
