At the AccorArena,
On his analysis of the match
“Immediately hot, I am disappointed.
Today, it's a little hard to find the words, I was really not far from making my first semi-final in Masters 1000. I still produced a good level of play. There are a few points still to settle to win this kind of match, which is really played on a few points. "
On his missed match point after an exchange of 30 strokes
“I didn't even think about that one anymore!
Honestly, I don't regret too much.
I think there was better to do.
I have to go more on this point and I haven't been there enough.
I have to do more at the net.
He saw at 5-1 that I didn't go, I ended up with a bump, I got rid of the ball a bit.
He was very good.
He was world number 3, so he feels it.
I think I should have gone a little more to the net, that's where I have regrets, not necessarily on the ball which is very limited. "

On his record of the week
“
I played four good games.
For two or three weeks, I have felt that I am making progress.
I'm still happy, I had good matches against good players.
I feel that I have the level, but to pass another milestone, there are still things to improve. ”
On his physical condition
“As I am young, I am still recovering well.
But I knew that my match against Cilic was going to be a little harder and that I had to win it.
Today, I felt good physically, I had recovered well.
I had energy, my muscles were good.
I'm going to rest a bit, think about everything that happened. "
“I want to find my parents and my sister. It's been a while since I saw them. ”

On his progress
“In recent weeks, I feel that I have progressed in my attitude.
I manage to develop a little more aggressive tennis, even if I have to come a little more to the net.
I have to chain my shots a little more.
From the bottom, I hit good shots, I hit hard, but except that as I never put pressure and that I do not chain.
Raonic, for example, gives it to me.
He knows I'm not going to go up, he's going to put her back to me, that's what happened at 6-4.
I don't put pressure on myself.
I can improve coming a little more to the net, and still coming back.
Afterwards physically too.
I think I can be a little more explosive.
This is where I want to make further progress. ”
On his end-of-season program
“I registered for Sofia, but I unsubscribed earlier.
I'm not going to go.
I am going to rest a little bit.
I want to find my parents and my sister.
It has been a while since I saw them.
I can not wait, I will recharge my batteries with them and recover well.
After that, it started again: training and then the next season to prepare.
It makes me happy just thinking about it! ”
