00:00First of all, I think he played great. He played really good tennis. I thought he was
00:05going to give me more points, I'm going to say more free points. He didn't make a lot
00:11of mistakes that I thought he was going to do, so I was confusing a little bit and I
00:19didn't know how to manage that, how to deal with it. I couldn't crease my level. I think
00:26my level stayed at the same point all the match and it wasn't enough. I think I made
00:32a lot of mistakes and when I wanted to come back, or I think I wanted to come back, it
00:41was too late. It was a fight against myself in my mind during the match. Today I was playing
00:48against the opponent and I was playing against myself in my mind. A lot of emotions that
00:56I couldn't control. It can be like that if I want to think about big things, so I have
01:02to improve it. I have to learn about it.
