07.06.2012 16:38:58 | Florian Mayer of Germany (35th ATP ranking) proved his rating in the clash with Montanese of Spain. He won 7:6, 4:6, 6:4 and leveled up the balance to 2:2. The match wildly swung up and down from the very beginning, there were many breaks, how did Mayer explain it? “I hesitated a little at the beginning but I think I generally played really well and it was one of my best matches of the season. I fought hard, I played my best… It was a very tough match, the draw is very hard. There are many very good players here. We both played high-quality tennis, neither of us deserved to lose. Finally, I managed to win and I’m happy about it.”
Who would Mayer chose for an opponent, Semjan or Janowitz? “I don’t know either of them, I will watch them play. True, Semjan showed a very good performance against Verdasco but he didn’t play one hundred percent. Today’s match was probably much tougher, but I don’t want to underestimate tomorrow’s match.”
How would he characterize today’s opponent’s performance? “He didn’t make many mistakes, was pretty solid. All in all, it really was a very high-quality match.”
