australia coming fatigue felt maybe nerve pain playing since
I don't really know what it is yet. Maybe the nerve is squeezed. I just felt pain coming down through my leg. Maybe fatigue has something to do with it. Since Australia I've been playing all the time, working hard. I haven't wanted to stop.

bit break chance cost days game gave great match played playing roger smile start stopped stressed
It was a great match. I really played very well first two sets. I had my chances. I had a break in the second. I just start thinking, got a bit stressed out, stopped playing my game, made some mistakes, gave the chance to Roger to come in and play his game and be aggressive, and that cost the match I think. So I'm a bit unhappy. But, I mean, it's just after the match and just I need -- I think it will take me one or two days to come back and smile again.

I did focus for two sets but then, I don't know, there were moments that I started thinking too much. Maybe I was a bit scared of him and didn't really believe in it. So, I mean, it was tough.
