“I just felt relief. After the semi -final match against Fritz, I couldn’t sleep for two days. I felt these nerves. I tried to hold myself in my hands, of course, but this is the first such finale for me and everything. So it was very, very difficult, of course. Therefore, after the match, all these experiences just left me. There was only pure happiness, pure emotions.

Of course, during the finals, our match with Novak in Shanghai floated in my head. Then I also won the first set 7: 6, but at the beginning of the second party I did not serve very well. This time I tried to stay focused, tried to be collected all the time on my submission, which I did. I am very happy about this, because otherwise playing the third set against Dzokovich would be difficult. Therefore, I just used this experience and tried to do my best to keep my best in this match as best as possible. Yes, it means a lot to me. All these feelings will come a little later, but now I begin to realize that all this week, in fact, all two weeks, it was incredible, ”Yakub shared emotions.
