“It’s just a shame the match didn’t go in my favor.” There were opportunities, there were chances, I myself, one might say, created them. It is clear that somewhere he played successfully and well. I always give credit to any player. When you play against an opponent, you are not just playing against yourself. You understand that everything is in your hands, but sometimes, unfortunately, the fate of the match is in his hands.
Honestly, there were chances in both tie-breaks, I led 4-3 in the first and I served, and in the second I led 4-3 and I served. It’s clear that I never give up, I always fight until the end. In other words, I believe that if there is an opportunity, I can take it, I can change the course of the game. That’s why I say it’s offensive.
It was a very good match in terms of wrestling. There were some opportunities, some offensive mistakes, but in terms of the overall game, what I wanted to do, what I’m doing at the moment, in principle, no matter how it seems, I’m happy,” said Khachanov saying by “Championship”.
