“I’m very happy to be able to compete again at a good level. Tomorrow is another day, another tough match against Stan. Every day in this tournament is so difficult, so let’s see if I’m able to play another good match.

I do not want him to play his game, which means I need to make sure I don’t let him be in a position where he can hit hard. I will have to do everything I can to keep him from playing aggressively. If I can play long balls, if I can hit hard. I think I will be hopefully able to control him. Easy to say, but it may not be that easy to do.”
