experience hot rely rising star
He is a rising star and is very hot at the moment. I have to rely on the experience that I have, which is more than his.
balls chance hits hold serves win
He hits the balls hard, which I like. I just try to hold my serves and find a chance to win points.
almost bad china draw eight hundred lower months percent problems shoulder since
My shoulder had some problems eight months ago, but now my shoulder is almost one hundred percent fit. It's all about the bad draw since my ranking has been much lower and I was not seededfor this year's China Open.
bit felt suddenly
At times, I suddenly felt a bit tight,
difficult felt games home match maybe service tight weird
I just had some weird service games in which I felt tight without any reason, ... Maybe it's because the first match at home is always difficult for me.
monks
In the temple, the monks have nothing of the world.
against difficult game good mixing normal player slice
He really mixes up the game not like any other player. A normal player will play the same way the whole match, but Roger, he's really good with mixing up the ball, with the spin, with the slice and the serve. Even when I had chances, he was always controlling the point. So it is really difficult to play against him.
needed played playing third win
He played well. I started playing better in the third set but I wasn't able to win the important points. I needed to be more patient.
aggressive figured game monk
If I'm too calm, it's not really my game because my game was aggressive on the court, just attacking. Then once I go into the temple, then I really learn. I really figured out what that monk told me is really true.
came enjoy far focus form hopefully moment number playing
I came this far already. I'm just going to enjoy the moment and that I'm playing the number one in the world. Hopefully I can keep the form I showed this week. I'm not going to think that I'm playing Roger. I'm just going to focus on the ball.
pressure supportive thailand
I often feel like that when I play in the Thailand Open. It's not the pressure from the crowd. They are supportive and have nothing to do with this.
eight knew last match played plays points time tough
The last time we played in Japan, I had eight match points and I lost. So I knew it was going to be a tough match. When he has a tough situation, he always plays really good.
