00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:03 Yeah, I mean, just basically the whole Schallen trip,
00:07 I was playing quite well.
00:10 Been playing well, actually, for a few months now,
00:12 so it's obviously extremely disappointing.
00:17 Yeah, nothing much I can say.
00:21 Dave.
00:23 It seemed that one or two things started to go on a little bit
00:26 with Daniel towards the end of the match
00:29 when he asked for a replay of a call
00:32 and interrupted the flow of the play.
00:34 Did that sort of stuff start to bother you?
00:37 From what I remember, it was 6-5 in the fourth set,
00:43 and I think I held that game quite easily.
00:45 So no, in that case, no.
00:50 It didn't bother me much.
00:52 I mean, I held quite easily afterwards.
00:53 But yeah, it is what it is for me.
00:59 It's more disappointing that at 5-4 in the tie break,
01:04 I didn't serve it out, and I actually lost both points.
01:06 And actually, the 5-0 point was just purely unlucky,
01:11 to be honest.
01:11 So that is more disappointing to me.
01:15 Anyone else?
01:21 Sam.
01:22 Alexander, where did you feel like the match was
01:25 starting to change?
01:26 I mean, you were quite dominant at one stage in the second set.
01:29 When did you feel it start to switch around?
01:32 At the end of the second set, I started to lose energy.
01:35 I started to not feel so fresh anymore.
01:41 I mean, I am a bit sick.
01:46 I got a bit sick after the Alcaraz match,
01:49 with a bit of fever and stuff like that.
01:51 So that obviously didn't help the recovery,
01:54 and I did play quite a lot.
01:56 So, yeah, just loss of energy a little bit
01:59 in the end of the second set.
02:01 And against him, it's impossible to play when you're not 100 per cent
02:05 physically, because he's literally someone that really
02:08 doesn't give you anything.
02:10 He makes you work for every single point,
02:15 and once you kind of can't really do that anymore,
02:19 it becomes very difficult.
02:20 And obviously, I was very close in the third and fourth set,
02:23 but I wasn't the same player as I was the first two sets anymore.
02:29 I was kind of just hanging on.
02:31 I was not losing my serve, but I felt like in the first two sets,
02:34 I was really on top of his serve a lot.
02:37 But that kind of went away in the third set.
02:40 Has it been more difficult for you to concentrate here,
02:46 considering the news that came out of Germany
02:49 right at the start of the tournament?
02:51 No.
02:53 Because I've said it before, anyone who has a semi-decent IQ level
02:57 understands what's going on, so I hope that most of you guys do.
03:02 So I'm fine with it.
03:04 The only other time you lost from two sets up, of course,
03:12 was in the US Open final,
03:13 so does that make it doubly difficult to lose a match like this?
03:17 Yeah, frustrating, but for me it's more frustrating
03:20 to see that I didn't feel 100 per cent physically.
03:26 That is more frustrating to me.
03:27 It kind of took the chances away.
03:30 I was playing well enough.
03:31 I was playing well enough throughout the whole Australian trip in a way.
03:34 I was playing very, very good tennis the whole Australian trip.
03:41 And I lost it because of a physical state, not because of tennis.
03:48 That is for me disappointing, because that's probably the first time,
03:52 one of the first times in my career that that has happened.
03:56 Yeah, just...
03:59 I've done...
04:02 But the other thing is I can be also proud of myself,
04:05 because I did everything I could.
04:07 I did all the work in the off-season,
04:09 I did all the work here in Australia.
04:10 I was focused, I was concentrated.
04:13 But things happened out of my control in a way.
04:17 You know, and it's not my last chance, hopefully.
