“It's unbelievable. He is the best. It was high quality. I had my chances in the first set but didn't make it, but I'm proud of the way I built the match, the way I did everything.

“I never lost hope, but I had to give it my all. I scored great points to make it 3-3 and then decided to go for it.”
