There was so much wind, it was tough to play good tennis. I'm having trouble getting my confidence back. But I'm working hard and trying to do it.
I've had a lot of luck. If I didn't I'd be washing bottles in Russia.
I've had good times and bad times. That's me. That's how I am.
It was a very, very good match and I am happy to have won a five-setter.
But, despite all that, I have a lot more good memories than bad of being here and I would love to come back next year.
I took a risk to come here and start a bit early to prepare for the U.S. Open. I?m praying to God so I will be healthy and will be able to play good tennis in the U.S. Open.
Everything worked out. I'm satisfied with my game today. If it goes like this, I have good chances to play well in this tournament,
