"I put a lot of pressure on my opponent and he made a lot of double errors. It was very important to me that there was a lot of Israeli crowd that pushed me. I came into this week with a lot of confidence, it's true there were losses in Davis, but I took the good things out of it and from game to game I feel like I'm getting better." 

On the continuation of the career: "I had 3 difficult years, but I love this sport, trying to do things correctly to return to the rankings I was and to rise beyond that."
