And if I play my best tennis, I have a chance.
I can’t improve anything in one day. I have to trust myself. I have to trust my game. I have to believe in myself and do my best. I know it will be difficult because he hits very hard and he is also confident after winning a Grand Slam. But now is another day, another game.
