In the second, I told myself just to hold my serve and try and be aggressive on his serve, and hopefully get a break. I also applied more topspin on my forehand. Once I won the second game after being 0-30 down, my confidence also went up.
The first match is never easy. To play three sets with some important moments, that's important for the confidence.
This is my chance - it's the fourth set. Sure. if I go to the fifth I can win too but I was very near, very near to the victory. I was thinking about the victory, I was thinking about every point I received because he was playing much better and better.
I begin late, that's important factor. And the most important factor, he is better than me.
It is important to recognize the small successes.
I feel that love. I feel that energy. I always felt that energy when I'm playing in New York.
I doubt about myself. I think doubts are good in life. The people who don't have doubts I think only two things-arrogance or not intelligence.
I played almost four hours today, ... Im very, very tired.
