“It’s not often that you serve for the game with two match points and lose them.
But I remember Federer’s final at Wimbledon two years ago and I was like, “Well, if that happens to him, it can happen to me too, and I can try to find a way to win”, Auger-Aliassime said, per the ATP website.
“We are human beings and it is normal to get nervous sometimes when you finish a game. It was difficult for me at 5-4 to try to calm myself down again and find a way to get a good level and win the second set.
But I think I did well. “I’m happy with the way the game ended. I think the most important thing is to win the last point of the match, so I did it, I played a great tie-break, so I can be happy with the way I finished the match.
And now I have the opportunity to fight for another victory tomorrow. ”Auger-Aliassime was just happy to have managed to take the victory. “It was a good way to start for me.
At the end of the day, the most important thing is to find a way to win and to try to go to the next round and continue in the tournament, ”said Auger-Aliassime. “I always feel comfortable on the grass, I think it suits my game well.
I hope that I can continue to win and go very far this week and in the tournaments to come as well, ”cocnlu Felix Auger-Aliassime.
