06.06.2024 19:29:13 | In today's second quarterfinal showdown on the center court, Vrbensky faced off against Tseng. The Taiwanese player clinched the first set in a closely contested battle and seemed to dominate the second, leading 4:0 and later 5:1. All eyes were on him to secure the match point, of which he had three, but to everyone's surprise, it did not happen. Vrbensky recovered, gaining momentum with each game won, while Tseng grew increasingly anxious about the outcome of the match.
"What was happening in his mind? "I had a good start in the second set and quickly took a 5:1 lead. I thought I just had one more game to win, especially since I was serving. However, my opponent recovered, played great rallies, and returned everything. I tried to stay composed and get back to my game. But the score became almost even, and at 5:4, I suddenly found myself down 0:40. I told myself I needed to use my forehand more aggressively. I'm really pleased I managed to finish the match on a winning note. Overall, I enjoyed playing on centre court. Facing a home player is always challenging, but the crowd was fantastic."
How about the next round? "I will definitely watch Djere’s match so I can prepare better."
