“The second set of the match was a little unstable, the initiative went from hand to hand. I realized that it would be before it. I am very happy that I was able to take this game at the reception at the expense of 4: 3. I had difficulty to bring the match to victory, but at the same time, I think that in the last games we showed great tennis.
How do I play on herbal courts? Unusual. I remember playing on grass at home -made ITF tournaments in America when I was 16-17 years old. Last year, I first spent a full season on the grass. I have fun, it’s a little lighter conditions for the legs, you do not come in contact with a solid surface and it is nice that you have a soft lawn under your feet.
I need some changes, because on this coating is a different tactic. But this is a fascinating process, I enjoy the game on the grass. ”
