“Carlitos gave a press conference where he commented on his impressive victory”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
After a virtually ideal match against the British, Carlitos gave a press conference where he commented on his striking victory, analyzed his game and shared his expectations from the future semifinals against Taylor Fritz.
With great confidence
“Honestly, I feel very well. Each match is a new test with a different rival. Every player brings his or her level. It is difficult to compare with last year, but I can say that now I have very high confidence. I feel great. Today’s match is the best for me in this tournament. I do not know if it was the best on the grass in general, or, say, compared to last year. I am very happy and inspired by how I play now. ”
That has changed in the last days
“Innings. I started to feel very comfortable with the submission in the match against Rublev. As soon as you enter a good rhythm on the feed, it is important to simply save it, feel the ball. On the grass, when you serve well, or feel that the feed is going, you have more confidence and rest when drawing and at the reception. Comfort on serving gave me the necessary calm to play qualitatively from the back line.
The first rounds of the tournament were a little difficult. I do not know if it was because of the ball throw, or just through the rhythm. I found him in a match with Rublev. He began to feel the ball, the percentage of innings increased. I began to win more points from the first feed. He started to hit the ball better, and it helped. As soon as the rhythm and stable throwing, the flow became noticeably better. ”
About the semifinals against Taylor Fritz
“His season on the grass this year is very successful. It shows great tennis, its style is well suited for playing grass: flat strokes, aggression, powerful feed. I will try to focus, show the best tennis. I will try to play at the same level, and maybe higher than today. If I play as today, I will definitely have a chance. So I will try to do it: play aggressively and not allow him to dominate. I look forward to this match because I understand – I need to add if I want to win. ”
About a series of 23 wins in a row
“I do not want to stop at this, I just want to continue in the same spirit. At each stage of the season, in each match we formulate goals against a specific opponent. Now my feed is what opponents are betting on. This is what they try to handle. And I’m glad. As I said: 23 victories, but I do not want to dwell on it.
When I start enjoying the match, from the moment my best tennis appears alone. The key is that I did not think about anything at all. Just enjoyed every second on the court. Playing Wimbledon’s quarterfinals is a gift. I tried to maximize the time on the central court. The atmosphere was incredible. ”
