“Vladislav and Alexander spoke after a paired game in confrontation with Dominican”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
Alexander Ovcharenko: “It was very difficult for me because it was the first match for me in this confrontation, because I did not play yesterday. It was necessary to play well immediately, and it was not easy. But I am very happy that I was able to show good tennis in pairs. My task today was to show my best tennis and do whatever I could on this day. ”
Vladislav Orlov: “There was a confidence in the game, but it disappeared after 1: 4. Our rivals started very quickly, insanely, I would say. It is very good that we managed to play Setbols at the expense of 3: 5 and then on a Tai-Breika. That is, I want to say that they played insanely in the first set, it was not easy. The court is also heavy, confidence disappeared, there was a lot of excitement. But we coped as a team. They stood the first set and won the Tai Breik – this was a key point. ”
Alexander Ovcharenko: “We told each other that we would play every ball to the end. Even when the score was 5: 3, 40: 0. And we played everything we could (laughs). And that’s good. ”
Alexander Ovcharenko: “Physical condition? I did not train one week due to the removal of the wisdom tooth. It hurts a little, but everything is fine. When I was training, I said that I could play, all is well. There is still a shoulder that I cannot leave for 2-3 years, but sometimes it is better. I worked a lot with our coaches and feel much better. Today, I think I served well, in only one game I made two doubles. ”
