I was like, you know, embarrassed a little bit. The ball was so fast and I was really nervous because I thought I can really hurt him. But finally after a few seconds he just recovered and I was happy because of that.
against ball coming finally four hit points three tough until winners
He's very quick, and when you hit the winners the ball is always coming back and you have to hit another winner and then another one, so it's tough to play against him, ... You have to win the points always three or four times until you finally win the point.

The surface was very fast, but we knew that before... I have nothing to say against the surface, it was the same for him as for me.

I am happy I won but it's always difficult to play against a friend. I was lucky.
break few game great last match miss opportunity serves serving third win
I was serving very good. After I get the break in the third set, for sure, I feel more confident. Especially the last game of the match I really feel like I will not miss the opportunity to win because I had a few great serves at the time.

Then the match was for him or for me. It was really close all the time, but I really played good at 4-4 in the third set and then won my serve.
It was a completely different match. He started to play better and better.

It's always difficult to play against a friend. We know each other since many years and he knows my game. I know his game, so it's such a difficult match to play. I was lucky that I win.
