“He was playing way better than me in the first two sets. In the third I started to get into it, step by step, and in the fourth and fifth I played really good tennis. Taylor is a top player, he’s played in the final here, so winning, my first time on Arthur Ashe, it’s fantastic. I hope you enjoy, I know I’m not the local one, sorry, I try my best, hopefully I can get you all on my side in the next one.”
