This was one of the toughest matches I have ever played. I am glad I am through.

The first two warnings (a warning and a point penalty) were okay, but the third one, I can't believe it,

He's one of the toughest players I've ever played with.

I had match points in the second set but I played very badly, and I pretty much gave him that second set. I could have ended this match sooner than I did but this is how tennis is, things can turn around really quickly. In the end the most important thing is the result. I am very happy I was able to come through 7-5 in the third today.

I don't think I lost because I spoke with him. He played better than me at important moments.

It was a dream for me to participate in the Olympic Games -- now I am in the final and ready to win gold.
