00:00Congratulations on a fantastic win I think a lot of people coming into this
00:07match were saying you're going to be properly tested by Holger Rune. You
00:09yourself highlighted what a fantastic player he is and the potential he has so
00:14to beat him in straight sets like that how pleased are you? I'm very pleased I
00:20mean I don't think he has played close to his best to be honest it's a tough
00:25start for him he lost all the first 12 points and I think in a way that got to
00:32him mentally waiting all day to come out on the court it's never easy you know
00:36the tension is building up every hour that passes you feel more and more tense
00:40and stressed to get out on the court you know on my end I think I've
00:47done things the right way in the important moments you know I I think I
00:50stayed solid I faced a couple of break points when I was serving for the set in
00:55the second set in the third set as well you know things could have looked a bit
00:59different if I dropped those service games but yeah just very solid
01:03performance in the end I'm very glad to get through in three sets.
01:14The crowd in particular seemed very into this match and obviously Holger had lots
01:18of support you seem to enjoy your interaction with them as well. Well to
