The 2021 US Open finalist spoke on the match and stated, “Ya I mean strange match a little bit in the second set where I think everybody felt like it’s going to be one set all and you never know where the match is going to go. I managed to save the setpoints he missed. One volley I made, one good point, and the match turned around completely. I’m just really happy. I don’t think I played my best tennis today.”
