beat came maybe took
When it came to the important points, maybe I took too much risk. But to beat this guy, you have to take a lot of risks; you have to play at your limit.
doctor looks pain soon sore
I still feel sore and I'm going to see a doctor soon and we will see what I can do then. I have pain but it looks good.
stay tried
Once he's ahead, it's not easy. I tried to stay in the whole time...but I just couldn't make it. In the end, he was just too good.
fights-and-fighting happy
I'm happy with the way I'm fighting. There's still a long way, but the most important thing is to win.
nice point surprised tension took
I thought it's his point. I was surprised that I got this point but I took it. Of course, it's not nice but what can I do? I'm a person with so much tension also inside.
chances maybe passive played second took
Unfortunately, I didn't take my chances in the first two sets. In the first set I was maybe a little too passive and in the second I played more aggressively and took more risks.
earth playing
We're on earth, but he's playing on a different planet.
