What did the champion of the nineteenth tournament say after the finals? “I was a little disappointed with my performance at Roland Garros. I lost in the second round and I’m therefore glad that I won here and regained the lost confidence.
I can say I showed very a good performance in Prostejov throughout the week. The sports facility is excellent, everything’s at one place, the Center Court is equipped with a closing roof. That I knew because I represent the local club in Extra League. I think we showed good tennis in the finals, it was a drama till the very end,“ What was decisive? “Both tie-breaks. I was leading 5:0 in the first one, and 4:0 in the second one. Basically, I didn’t make mistakes. True, Jan was leading 5:3 in the first set and was serving for the set, but it proved to be the turning point. Yet still, the tie-breaks decided it all.“
