“Juan Carlos Ferrero appeared at a tournament press conference”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
Searching for Sinner’s Domination
“We made tactical changes throughout the match. They began to play in a certain way, but they saw that Yannik was also well prepared and closed his weaknesses well. So we had to change tactics, and it took more time than we would like. At the same time, Carlos had their chances from the very beginning.
When you are in the fourth set and you are almost going to the locker room, you try something else. This is difficult – in such a tense atmosphere of the finale against a rival that does not depart from the back line, it is difficult to offer significant changes. We tried to make small adjustments.
What improved most is that when he recovered, he believed 100% that he should squeeze the match, even losing two networks. He felt very well with the public, and then you saw everything yourself. ”
Never doubted the dedication of his player
“Carlos has always been a real fighter, he never gave up on any ball. Since I train it, he never gave the match without a fight, always struggled to the end, and we knew that it would be the same. Today’s situation was very difficult, but we were sure that he would fight to the last. I am amazed at what he did because it was really an impossible task. ”
The busy moment when Carlos served on the match
“At the expense of 5: 4 in the fifth set, he felt what everyone feels. Closing the match is not easy, especially in the fifth set of the Great Helme tournament. In almost every game of the fifth set, Sinner was taking a very well, and we knew that if Carlos did not get the first ball, Yannik would press on the second feed. So it happened, and Carlos was unable to maintain the level of the game. When you are ahead, but you can’t complete it – it’s always more difficult because there is no spare option. ”
Sinner’s sympathy
“Of course, today is difficult for Sinner. More than the numbers and a series of defeat from Carlos, it is painful that the victory was in his hands, but slipped. It is very painful. I think it will not be easy, but as a real champion he will survive it and show everything he can, on Wimbledon. ”
More epic than the match on US Open 2022
“I think it was one of the two most epic matches in terms of tennis, emotions, tension and equality-with the fact that it was on US Open in 2022. But perhaps this was even surpassed. I will have to view it again, because I did not have time to enjoy the full. ”
Psychological stability that this match will give alarasu
“I greeted him and praised him for the morale, dedication and faith throughout the match – this is what we expect from him as a team. What he did is not easy. I was a player myself and know how difficult it is – especially today. I’m delighted. It was something unrealistic, given the opponent, the situation and the fact that Sinner does not give a minute of rest. But even on the verge of defeat, he continued to believe.
Today, he took another step forward in terms of mental stability, and I am sure that this match will help him in the future. It will help you believe in yourself, even when the game does not go or lose. This struggle and dedication will be very far away. ”
