I think in most of the second and third set he played better. In such matches, several points decide the winner. The last game was nervous. It is difficult for Taylor to finish the match with a double serving, he did not deserve it, but he held a great struggle and a good tournament.
I didn’t feel that I dominated from the back line. In many of my innings, I just tried to survive, fight for every ball. He was aggressive, kept close to the line. It is not easy to play against him. After all, victory is important, and I am very proud of the struggle I showed, I always give my heart to this sport. I still enjoy him. ”
