  • So all last 15 years I had the big match against him so at my top level when I was When I was there playing him in semi-final final was always special always enjoy to have this battle against him So yeah,
  • We never played in Wimbledon never played on grass.
  • So I'm happy for that It's gonna be difficult if if we look what's happening now for sure.
  • I don't stand a chance But again, I think in the past I always find a way to play a better match against him So hopefully tomorrow I can make a competitive match.
  • What's the biggest strategic difference on the grass you think for you?
  • The movement is tough movement is tough and also ball are coming a bit a bit lower and a bit faster so I don't have as much time as I would like to but Yeah, you need to find solution.
