To simplify it, he played really good and I played really bad,
if you want to simplify it, um
the way it is, I think this was not a very good match
for me. I think maybe one of the worst in
the last couple of months.
The way it is, the court was very, very fast, but I actually think
that this is the court that it should be during
the indoor season. I was bad, quite simple,
there's no excuses. I don't know if stress,
I was a bit annoyed, to be honest, the last couple of
achieving the world number one status
is something that I think every player dreams of,
but then I feel like I'm the only world number one in tennis history
that has to explain why it's okay for me to be world number one,
which I find quite difficult
because I think I deserve to be where I am,
even though I lost today.
I don't think anybody had to explain themselves as much as I had to do
in the last couple of days, which for me is annoying.
