07.06.2014 13:35:26 | The defeated finalist Norbert Gombos considers Prostejov challenger the best tournament he has ever played at: “I didn’t expect to reach the finals here. I had beaten Haase once last year. I was quite confident against Adam even though I lost to him twice last year. But I had defeated him on clay. Adam had played tough matches before and it decided.
Jiri Vesely proved to be a top hundred player. I didn’t have many chances, I didn’t catch the beginnings of both sets. Moreover, Jiri proved he could convert decisive rallies. That’s were he took advantage of his experience. He turned out better every time I had a chance to turn the match over.“
What did Norbert Gombos say about the tournament in Prostejov? “It’s a great sports facility, everything is at one spot. I would say it was a little Grand Slam for me. You’ve got a wonderful central court here which has a great atmosphere when it’s crowded.“
Gombos was not disappointed by the defeat in the finals. He knew he gave a very good performance. “I consider it a success. Jiri Vesely was just better and deserved to triumph,“ said Norbert Gombos who gained 75 to the world’s ranking and a cheque for EUR 9,000.
