00:00I don't think so I mean maybe

00:03Because first of all you have to know then how they're done

00:06And I have no idea so I could possibly maybe ask Technofiber if the ball I want

00:11But well, then I should only go to two tournaments where Technofiber balls

00:16So I don't know actually how the decision is done

00:20and I don't want to be you know the only one who because if I'm the only one to complain then it's just my problem, but

00:27Again, I feel like I have a small right to complain because I'm not losing

00:30So it's not like I have lost came here and said the ball are bad. I just won Doha with these balls

00:36In Australia, I played not so bad with these balls. I just feel like

00:40Yeah, there are a few things even I felt today. So there was a game. What was it?

00:464-2 in the first set on his serve and 3-1 in the second so when the balls are almost at their

00:54lowest point and

00:56It felt like not me nor him neither me nor him could make a winner and in my opinion

01:01That's a little bit maybe even boring because it was just I was like hitting cross

01:06I felt like I took the time from him just hit it back in the middle

01:10I was like I cannot do anything with this ball

01:11I hit back in the middle

01:12He hits back I hit back and then whoever misses and the legs the legs are burning and you are like and then the new

01:18balls for like three games

01:20It's a hug in Russia. We call it

01:24Sky and in ground they are completely different

01:28So it take like two games to get used to them, but then they're dead again

01:31So it's a little bit strange in my opinion

01:34But again, if I'm the only one then that's only my problem

01:37But I just feel like that's not good for for the body and that's important

01:41It feels great because confidence is very important tennis

01:44We all know it and I think every tennis player has different approaches to confidence. Like for example, I have no idea

01:50For me, it's more important to have the confidence like kind of in the moment then for example

01:56Remembering that last year I played good there

01:58Maybe it works different for now because when he comes to Australia, it feels like no matter what happened before

02:03He's always in confidence there. So for me, it's important in the moment and right now I feel great even today

02:10I felt like I was far from my best tennis, but I managed to close it out kind of in two sets. It always helps

02:17And yeah, I'm just really happy to be on a streak right now

02:22Streaks always finished. I will try to extend my mind as long as I can feeling great

02:27And hopefully can do some big things here in Dubai
