Transcript
00:00 Very unfortunate, unlucky situation for me, you know.
00:03 It was an accident where, you know, that guy leaned over the fence and the bottle dropped
00:11 from his rucksack and landed directly on my head, you know.
00:16 It was unexpected, obviously.
00:18 I wasn't even looking up and then I felt a very strong hit in the head.
00:26 And that has really impacted me a lot.
00:34 After that I got medical care and been through half an hour, an hour of nausea and dizziness
00:48 and blood and a lot of different things.
00:52 But I managed to sleep okay.
00:54 I had headaches but the next day or yesterday was pretty fine.
00:58 So I thought it's okay.
01:00 But maybe it is okay, maybe it's not.
01:03 I mean, the way I felt on the court today was just completely from, it's like a different
01:09 player entered in my shoes.
01:15 No rhythm, no tempo, no balance whatsoever on any shot.
01:18 So it's a bit concerning.
