“He’s a great player,” said Juan Martin. “He fights like me every point, and we had fantastic rallies. I’m so glad to beat him tonight in Dubai. I played fantastic forehands to keep playing this match. Then in the end, of course, you need a little bit of luck to win these kinds of matches, and I think I played solid on important points in the third.”
