I enjoy every time I play here in New York, it’s one of the most electric courts I’ve ever played on. For me, it’s an honour to step on this court once again and try to put on some good tennis for people to enjoy. I’m very happy and it’s an honour to play here again.
I was a little surprised by Tu, in the first set it was obvious that he started nervous. Afterwards, he grew, started enjoying himself and playing great tennis. I was playing well, I probably made a couple of mistakes that were not right. He is a great player, he surprised me and I will follow him from now on, I am sure that if he plays at this level, we will see him around here very soon.
I love playing sleeveless, in specific tournaments I like to play with straps. Probably to intimidate the opponent, or I try to. Here in New York it is very hot and very humid, it helps me to play like this so I don’t sweat as much. I’m glad you like it.
