Satisfied sinner

Starting with a break is always important. I didn’t have much time to adapt to these conditions after Indian Wells but I’m happy to have won, debut matches are never easy. Djokovic’s record? I’m obviously happy, I’m trying to do mine. The important thing is to win, I try to do my best whoever my opponent is.”
