Around the match

  • In an exciting match with great rallies, both players were somewhat nervous in the decisive tiebreak and wobbled on their own serve. When Benito had match point, I gave everything and fought until the end. That's how I was able to turn the match to my side and I'm incredibly excited about my first Challenger final this year.

  • I'm almost still speechless to have reached the semifinal in my sixth Challenger appearance overall. I showed my best performance in the tournament today and was also lucky to hit many tight balls.
