What struck you most about him? He played a lot this year. Did he surprise you in this physical battle?
Physically, I felt like I had given a lot. This morning when I woke up, warming up wasn't easy. I accepted that it was like that. I felt that in my head, things were less responsive today. Him, in terms of service, he was monstrous in the first ball and he gave me nothing in the second. Usually, sometimes, he can give on this side. On the forehand side, that's often where I thought I could get it, it didn't give me anything. I have the impression that the first point he gave me was on the last game, where he missed a crosscourt backhand and a long forehand. Otherwise, nothing. He played as usual, away from his line. I had trouble overflowing it. He largely dominated me in the end. I did with the weapons of the day and to the best of my ability. It's hard but that's how it is.
