Press Conference

J. SINNER/R. Jodar

6-2, 7-6

THE MODERATOR: Rafa, bad luck today, but you must be very proud of your run here. Just sum up in your own words your feeling right now.

RAFAEL JODAR: Yeah, thank you very much. Yeah, it was a tough match. Jannik played very well during the whole match. So, yeah, I take many positive things, and I'm trying to learn from this match and for the future.

Q. What was it like to play the world No. 1 in Jannik Sinner out there today, and how is it different from your previous matches?

RAFAEL JODAR: Yeah, Jannik, he is a great player. All his shots are very complete. I think that's what makes him better than maybe other players. But, yeah, overall I take positive things from this match. I'll try to re-watch it again and try to learn from this match.

So, yeah, I tried to learn from the things that I did well, but also from the things that I didn't do that well, and try to learn to do it better next time.
