accepted direction forget good match net sad
He spat in my direction; he apologized at the net after the match, and I accepted his apology. I don't think it's the right thing, and it's not good for the game. It's unfortunate because we were having a good dogfight match out there. We were going for it. It's sad that something like that happens. But I said, 'Just forget about it, mate'.

I got out of the blocks well today, ... I went out there with a game plan and just executed it. I did what I needed to do and didn't feel that under pressure.
