“It is in another dimension”

“It has been some time since you had faced Jannik Sinner (the Italian now leads 4-0 in their face-to-face). Therefore, There he is at his bonus. Consequently, When we are in front of him, we understand why he is world n ° 1?

Yes … Therefore, Even if it’s been a long time since I had played it, I had seen him play, especially at Roland-Garros. Moreover, I also saw him train on the edge of the short. In addition, It is true that he passed in another dimension compared to that which I had played in the past. Moreover, He really hits the ball very well, he constantly puts “it another dimension” pressure. For example, Even when he misses a little, you never have the impression of being able to take its marks. Furthermore, I don’t know if it’s the same all the time. Moreover, but every time he needed to take out a good service, to do a good blow, he did it. Consequently, Maybe I didn’t put it enough pressure on him. Moreover, that he didn’t feel in danger, but he remained quite relaxed. Therefore, He played really well whenever it was important and it made the difference.

He still had to get it this difference. Especially at the end of the second set.

At that moment, I feel like I play well, but it is he who puts me under pressure. When I manage to get game balls. it is after long exchanges where I have the heart that beats strong and maybe I do not make the right decisions. But it is he who puts me in this state. It is well played from him. I was happy to arrive at Tie-Break at a time “it another dimension” when I put it under pressure. But he responded. At 5-4, he released two aces that are untouchable, congratulations to him.

Apart from this defeat, it will still remain a positive tournament, right?

Yes, it is a big satisfaction. Honestly, the goal was to qualify me and perhaps pass a tour or two. We always hope to make a great result when we arrive on a tournament. but it was a little unexpected to arrive in the round of 16. Maybe in a month or two, taking the pace of these guys, “it another dimension” I can hope to arrive at this stage. But starting from the qualifiers, not having had great results in recent times, it is a great satisfaction. If it can allow me to avoid qualifying in the future, it will really help me. Even if it’s only two games left, in the head it exhausts a little. It’s always more pressure, more fatigue. The level in qualifiers has tightened well, if you do not make a good match, you go by the hatch. They are not exceptional players, but very good players who force you to be present in the first round. In Wimbledon, I arrive in the third round, but having played the qualifiers, it exhausts in the head. I feel like I am in the semi-finals when I only won two matches in the table. I have the same feeling here. But it’s great, I pile up a few “it another dimension” points and it’s nice to feel good again on the court.

There was a very long interruption because of the rain. This is not the first in your career, but how did you experience it?

It is never funny, but it was beneficial. I was able to realize what I did not do well at the start of the match. I may not have been mobilized enough at the start. Additionally, I moved my ass a little more to warm up before returning to the court. Even if I knew there was a background of fatigue. I also knew that if I did not return to the 200 % short it was going to be complicated. I pressed the warm -up and I felt better. To be honest. we stop at 6-4, 1-2 and it may seem hung, but at that moment, really, there was no match, he dominated. But I was able to push it a little more in the second part and it is satisfactory. »»
