“I’m already very happy to have gotten out of it”

« What made the difference in the fifth set against Jaume Munar (6-3, 1-6, 7-5, 2-6, 6-1) in the first round of the Australian Open ?
I’m already very happy to have gotten out of it. In a five-set match, there are bound to be ups and downs. You’ve lost two sets and that’s never a good feeling. But the important thing is to win three. The first match can always be tricky. I have no excuse because I have been here ten days. Of course, no one wants to be eliminated from the start and that can make you tense. In the end, I mainly put more balls in the court. In the second and fourth, I was a little too relaxed and made too many mistakes. But in this format, we have time. I knew how to raise my level when necessary.
