True, it may not have been spectacular but it was exiting and tense. We both tried to outplay the other and catch him unawares. We kept changing the pace and tried various alternatives.
I had the upper hand at the end of the second set. Radek was making more errors, I stopped making mistakes and played it safe. I had to recover from the frustration. If you serve ten double faults in a set, you can’t expect you would win. It was important to handle the emotions during the match which I managed to do. I expected such course of the match and I’m glad I finally won it.“
And what about tomorrow’s finals? “I would be nice to win the title. That’s what I actually came for in the tournament. I thought it would be a great success to defend last year’s points, meaning to reach the finals. I’ve managed to accomplish that and I may even make one step further now.“
