I saw the ball clearly in. But sometimes it's tough for the linesman. This time it was for him and maybe tomorrow it's going to be for me.

I think it all went with the first set. Losing a tiebreak like that is painful, ... It affected me mentally, and I got tired after that. He took care of the rest.

Mikhail was a very strong opponent today, so I am happy I have won the edge,

Being 6-3 5-1 and losing easily. Sometimes you can't control yourself... you do stupid stuff.

I never thought I was going to be in the final of such a big tournament like this.
serving
He was serving unbelievably and I couldn't do too much.
break chances serve serving
I know that I got too many chances to break his serve, but when he was serving 5-4, 0-40, I think he started to serve well and I couldn't do much.
continued felt fought knew number playing since single win
Since I've started this tournament, I haven't always felt that I've been playing very well. I could see it coming. I knew that if I continued playing like that, I wouldn't be able to win again. So I fought as much as I could. I had a number of opportunities, and I didn't take them. Obviously, he used every single chance. And when I was up 4-love, he used all opportunities, and he did the right thing.

I saw the ball clearly in, ... But sometimes it's tough for the linesman. This time it was for him and maybe on Thursday it's going to be for me.
