“I don’t know. Until Tuesday I see how I am; and that’s the truth. We’ll see if I can play two days in a row, play it with guarantees. It’s unknown for me. It’s been a long time it’s been a while since I played with these burdens in the official match If I can compete on Tuesday, four games in a row will be positive.
