“Tomorrow I’m going to start practising, and then Saturday I’m going to try to play my best. Yeah, I will try to get used to, as much as I can, just one practice, one hour, one hour and a half, let’s see, but I think I’ll be ready. But, yeah, as I said, we have not too much time to practice, to get used to these conditions, but as a tennis player we have to do it.”
