He is a lovely guy who always shows great respect for his teammates. I wish him the best for the season. Also, he has one of the best serves on the tour, I didn't have many chances until the eleventh game of the second set. There is not much difference against this kind of players. But I am satisfied for the confidence with which I played under pressure".
