From Rafa

“I played well at the beginning with the right intensity, with no mistakes,” commented the world no.5  “I was trying to do the right things to find a good feeling on the ball, to find the right rhythm. I played to the right places, and that gave me confidence.

“I didn’t play my best game, the first game of the second, and he played well, so he had the break. And after that he played well for a while in the next games. Then he had good chances, two break points for  3 0. It was not an easy moment. I played one good point and I was able to come back.”
