“I should have won this game, there is no excuse for that. I’ve had so many opportunities to win, I have to figure out how to win these games.

Williams struggled with cramps in the end. “I had cramps, yes, but I shouldn’t have been in the situation,” said the former number one in the world rankings, but also explained: “Playing nine hours in a week is too much for me, I play that much normally Not.”
