– Based on the result, this is his surest win at Roland Garros this year, but he had to work to achieve it, especially early in the match. How did you see the meeting?
“That’s right, I had to fight for this superiority.” The game started hard, we got the serve in a series, but at the end of the game I came out victorious, which was a turning point: the first set I fought gave me a lot of confidence, I felt that I was starting to get into the game, my organs they were improving little by little. Thanks to that, I won this match, said Márton Fucsovics.
“Why was the beginning of the meeting so difficult?”
“On the one hand, he received my rations very well and aggressively, and on the other hand, it was cooler than in the previous days, about twelve degrees centigrade, I felt on my rope that the balls were not bouncing off him as they used to. It took five or six games to get used to the circumstances and pick up the pace.
– After winning the second round, he said he would have to play tactically, also playing chess against Monteiro. Was that really the key?
“Yes, I had to play tennis wisely, as my opponent is a tough scum player, I served a lot on the back and it was important that I hit the first serve with a good percentage. Pace changes and cuts worked, I was also able to finish a lot of points on the net, all of which I needed to keep going.
– He seems to be in the game now, in his head and physically. You feel so?
“When would you feel this, if not now, before a Grand Slam final eighth?” Luckily … Or luckily, because I worked for it. So it’s nice to have been able to defeat Medvedev, the first top ten opponent in my career, in the first round as he gave a huge boost.
– Among the top six, your opponent now will not be Roger Federer, but the second most successful male player of the season, Andrei Rublev. What game are you waiting for?
– This is Rubljov’s best year, he enters the top ten of the world rankings, he won in Hamburg, he still has three matches, he will definitely step on scum with great confidence. We have played against each other, we have trained a lot too, so we know each other well: a great fighter, stable on both sides and hitting the greats. I’m confident that since he played for the past week and also advanced in five sets in Paris in the first round, it will show.
– And how do you manage physically? It does not have five players, but it has overcome difficult matches.
“That’s right, you have to fight with scum for every point, I won tough matches, but I feel good physically, much better than in Australia before my matches against Federer.
