In this regard, the river spoke in the press conference after falling to Nole: “I should have won the second set, but sometimes the game is easy.
I had two options and I chose the wrong one. The second one was the one I played the best and I won it. It is normal that the match ended like this, because in the first and third sets there is not much to say. “As long as we confront each other next time, it will be different.”
Later, he explained: “He was married, he missed some shots at the end of the rallies. At the same time, you know what Novak (Djokovic) is. No matter what happens, he is always there. That’s why it’s a shame that he was able to win the second set, I felt like he was doomed. He should have done better. I should have been more stubborn about giving back, he should have changed my position, but I felt like he was going to fυпcioпa.”
“I think physically I was also somewhat married. He felt victory was close and took a step forward. In my case, I was thinking about competing with the physical battle, but the third one couldn’t do it, that’s why I started to fail a little more. Many regrets, but the same as the other finalists who played with him,” Daпiil declared.
