04.06.2014 16:12:29 | Jiri Vesely beat Belgian Germain Gigounon, a 257th player in ATP ranking, in two sets. However, he struggled especially in the first. “I was very tight up and I couldn’t shake my nervousness until the end of the first set. In my opinion, I played a very ugly tennis. I only had a good serve and played nothing special,“ said Vesely critically about his performance. He only got into the match in the second set at 2:2.
“I started to play better and, at least, hit the court. Moreover, I could feel I was under greater pressure before the local crowd than a year ago,“ Vesely said. “I’ve done what was expected from me and advanced to the quarterfinals. Today’s result is in my favour, but the next opponents will sure be stronger. I’ll have to play better tennis.“
