“It was a bit of a special match (against the Thai Kasidit Samrej, 418th in the world, beaten 6-2, 4-6, 3-6, 6-1, 6-2). Already, you hadn’t played for some time. Then it was an opponent you didn’t know.
Of course I didn’t know much about him. I had to search the internet to find videos to see how he played. We saw that he could hit hard and that he was going to get the points. We also saw that he made a lot of unforced errors. The stats of the match confirm it (69 faults for Samrej), but I didn’t have that impression in the second or third set because he played very well. I only had one chance to break in the third and I played poorly. But overall he played really well. A good serve, a break in each set, that’s what it takes to win matches. From my point of view, I didn’t play that badly, but I will make sure to improve further.
