Flavio spoke with journalists after defeat by Novak Dzhokovich, whom he imposed a serious struggle by winning the starting set in the match.
About the match
“I think I played very well. I am proud of my mood at the court. It was not easy to go to the central court for the first time. The first set I spent – I think I have never played so much. I did a great job to get to this stage. I posted on the court to the full. Satisfied with its tournament and the level of the game. It is a little sad because I think I deserve the fifth set, but in general the performance is very positive. Now you need to recover before the American series. ”
Did Dzokovich managed to doubt
“I tried to play aggressively from the outset, especially the fortweend. I think I also served very well today. I did almost everything right, but it was not enough – it is a legend. It was better in key points – this is the difference. He always makes you play on the verge. I haven’t done it completely. But I’m glad I played with him on this court. ”
What did the novak be near the net
“He said I spent a wonderful match and showed a good attitude on the court. He also said that I would soon enter the top 10 and stay there for a long time. ”
About the courage to challenge mentally
“This is my game. I like spectacular draws, a little like Carlos (Alaras), but in the end it is important not how you played the ball, but who won the point. I am still proud of myself. ”
What he learned himself
“I realized that I needed to do everything right out of court to be here. I didn’t do it before. To achieve such results, you need to monitor yourself. I’m talking about training, proper nutrition, sleep. The little things are important. ”
About nerves on the central court
“I was very nervous. It turned out to be much larger than it seemed to me. The same was at other helmets. It seems huge from the inside. It scared me a little. ”
Physical aspect
“After the first set, I fell adrenaline – and I felt it. It became more difficult for me to move, I had to react and change something. Then, in the third and fourth sets, I felt well. I will try to understand why it happened. This may be because of lack of experience before such a match. Carrying out more such matches will help in this regard. ”
