After today’s match, well, of course with my team, with my family, well, we are going to have a great time to enjoy, to enjoy the moment, but I think that tomorrow I’m going to play a final of a really big tournament, and tonight I’m going to be very focused to be able to recover and to be as best as possible for tomorrow’s match.”
