Compliments towards your rival
“Lajovic is a fantastic person. We have known each other for a long time. We played together in the Davis Cup. This is his biggest victory.”
On his poor form during the match
“The combination of the two. Lajovic played well. On the other hand I played much worse than he wanted. I can’t win matches once morest opponents who are so solid on this surface playing like this. I wasn’t feeling well on court, my legs were slow and my footwork was clumsy, many missed shots, totally without direction. I played well at times, but I played noticeably below my level”.
On the commitment not to give any point for lost
“If I didn’t believe in myself, I wouldn’t be playing tennis. That is a prerequisite for the professional tennis player. I fought to the last point. The fact that I didn’t play well at times, when it was necessary to play betterThat has nothing to do with trust. that is a series of circumstances and my condition is much worse than I expected.”
On his run to Roland Garros
“I hope to be in top form for Roland Garros. I want to play my best tennis there. The conditions are totally different there compared to Monte Carlo and Banja Luka. There are still several weeks left to practice and play. In previous seasons I have always had a slow and unsatisfactory start on clay and then i played much better tennis in the final stages. I hope to repeat the same trend this year”.
