Unit Reports

On celebrating in front of the audience after the win, getting loud cheers:
”I have to thank everyone. It was a great response, which was a lot of fun. Then there are a lot of Swedes here, that’s for sure, and they probably cheered the loudest. But it is a lot of fun that that many Germans appreciated the game."

On the risk of not being invited to any gatherings with the Lebrun family after eliminating Félix Lebrun (FRA) in the round of 32 and Alexis Lebrun (FRA) in the round of 16 on Friday:
”I’m pretty well in touch with their coach so I’ll have to see if I can get in that way instead.”

On what it is like to play the Lebrun brothers:
”They’ve got such a varied play that hardly exists. It’s probably only Truls (Möregårdh, SWE) in Europe who also has this kind of play. It’s incredibly varied, they can come up with exactly anything. They can do a new serve at 9-9 in a deciding set. They’ve got that fearlessness and just go for it, it’s pretty cool to see.”

On what he did to win:
”You figure out a way. They’re so young that perhaps a bit of experience plays a part today. I’ve been in European championship quarterfinals and rounds of 16 before and played in more tournaments. You could see that on them a little in the sense that it felt like I won most even sets.”

On what he gains from having more experience:
"You know how to keep your thoughts under control. I don’t know how they think obviously but I know how it was for me the first and second time. It’s not that easy. If you lead 10-6, as he did in one set, you perhaps see the goal a little bit too soon. Small things like that I think play in.”
