Event Reports

On overcoming three match points in the fourth set to win 3-2:

”You are never eliminated (until the match is over).
”Perhaps they got a little bit too hot in the situations and we started to just put the balls in, as we had said we would. Then they perhaps started to get a little stressed. The match was swinging a lot."

On the swinging match against Emmanuel Lebesson (FRA) and Simon Gauzy (FRA):
"We’ve got 1-0, 3-0. Had we got 4-0 there perhaps we would’ve run away a little, but then they came back. The match went a lot up and down."

On what they told each other when Lebesson and Gauzy were in the lead:
"We talked to each other and said we should just put the balls in easily and not stress, and I think we did that well.
"In the beginning I was perhaps a little too hot and Anton too, then we said that we should get the ball on the table - they also need to do something, we’ve got opponents who need to act as well. I think it started to go better and better and then we moved better – we haven’t played doubles together for about two years."

On losing to Jon Persson (SWE) and Anton Källberg (SWE) after missing three match points:

"When you lead 2-1, 10-7 and you have three match balls, even with this we restart with 5-1 in the last set, if you don't take the opportunity, the others take it.
"When it is 2-1, 10-7 you have only got one point to make. It is difficult to lose this game when you lead like this.
"I didn’t take my responsibility at 10-8 and I gave away two balls so that they could come back to 10-10 and after this.
"We didn’t play together for a long time but I find that we play a good game, it’s only the first set for me that was difficult. After that we play four good sets and we only win two even though we have the lead in all four sets, so this is hard."
