So many unforced errors. I&#8217;m not playing well &#8211; that&#8217;s a fact.  At this level you know that you have to deliver your best tennis. I wasn&#8217;t on my best in the first match, but I managed to kind of get into the rhythm in the second set.  This match, I have no words to explain. Nothing was going really for me. Nothing was going well.\u201d{nl}{nl}&#8221;He was playing smart, changing rhythm. You always can kind of expect and predict what he&#8217;s going to come up on the court with.
