Montis: “I only have to work more and better to change everything”

French tennis player Gael Montiswho lost in the first round of the Harde tournament atp 500 in Washington, a Chinese in Ibin (3: 6, 1: 6), told reporters about the negative on social networks, which he receives every time after defeat at the court, as well as what he or she means for heavy failures.

“Honestly, these messages do not affect me because I try to focus on good in my life. When people write to me that I played badly, that it is time for me to finish with tennis, of course, I think about it too: maybe I really finished. But after such a defeat, you do not want to throw everything.

On the contrary – you want to look even more persistently. I do not understand the people who send such messages. Most of all the defeat affects me. I become angry with myself, I think: why am I at all here if I could rest with my wife and daughter on vacation now?

When I see how bad I play, I am crazy about the thought that I will waste time. Some may think that it’s fun – to come to the tournament, to go to the court, to lose. But this is not easy life, especially when you lose and realize that you could stay home with your family.

It’s hard. But I chose this path and accept everything that is connected with it. I only have to work more and better to change everything. ”
