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