This is when you decide to ask for a medical appointment. Against Grigor Dimitrov he only won the first set. “The pills take effect, they put a little hot cream and things like that. First that works, then it doesn’t work so much, then it works again. It’s been quite a roller coaster, to be honest.”
“Tiring”, he meant trying to deal with this physical hardship since the beginning of the tournament. “But that’s what there is. I’m thankful to be able to play because I thought it wouldn’t be possible when I arrived australia tomorrow. Right now I’m still here and holding on.”
