Match contre EDMUND pour me qualifier au CHALLENGER de Manacor !

❤️ by ClosedCaptioner.com I'm with two guys there. Hi, breakers. Very happy to be here at the Rafa Academy, challenger 75. I'm in qualifying. First round passed yesterday against Pichler, the Austrian. I'm seeded second in the qualifiers. Last round of the qualifiers today, this morning, on Sunder Court. I play at 10:00 against Kyle Edmund, who was 14th in the world. He had surgery on both knees. Now he must be, I don't know, 400th in the world. He's been coming back for a year now. Huge forehand. I think one of the biggest on the circuit. Very powerful. We'll see how it is. I play central, there is a little depth, a little distance. Be careful not to back up too far, or leave too much of an angle. I just trained, calmly. There's still half an hour to go, so I'll go and get my racket, which is over there. I'm putting on my overgrip, energy drink that's in my room, a few sprints, and let's go. Let's go! Breakers, as you know, for a few months now, I've been using "Prozis." I'm showing you a product I use all the time, which I take to tournaments. I've already shown it to you, it's "Energy Isocarb," super important. I obviously take some. It's in powder form. I'm showing you this, it's in powder form. I put two spoons. In any case, everything is indicated here. I put two spoonfuls in my water bottle before a match. I start drinking this before the match, an hour and a half before. During the match, of course, and I continue to drink it afterward. "Energy Isocarb" is for endurance sports, such as tennis or cycling. There are the key electrolytes, super important for our practice, sodium, potassium and magnesium. And also, of course, ultra-important vitamins, vitamins A, C, D, E, B6, B12. As I mentioned, potassium, magnesium, and sodium are ultra-important. Don't hesitate to take some. "Prozis" is a website. By the way, I've included the link below, in the description. Ultra-complete with many food supplements you can take for your sporting activities. I recommend this one for tennis. On the link, in the description, if you click on it, you'll get a 10% discount with my code: "BREAKERS," in capital letters, so don't hesitate. Come on, let's go. Last round of qualifying here in Manacor. Come on, you'll need to pay attention to your forehand. Also, being able to read his serve. All these balls will have to be avoided. All these neutral balls, where I try to cross on his backhand. That, why not. That's very average. Even more average. That's perfect. Yes. Well, you'll need to avoid giving too much angle. Don't move too far behind the baseline. That's perfect, you need to make him run for sure. He doesn't even go. A big weakness is running, due to his knee operations. That's perfect. Come on, well done. Yes, for now, the service game is very good, nothing to say. Difficult to win them. - […] - Come on! Yes, that's right. Come on, 0-30. Opportunity, 15-40. Yes, great passing shot. - […] - Yes, it wasn't the slice I wanted to make. I wanted it to be a bit shorter, a bit more cross-court. Big gap there and break-back points. Watch out! Shame about the defense, I could have done better there. Break-back, 4-4. All to be redone. Yes, success there, on the return. Come on, you have to take advantage of it. He played me. Amazing! Come on, set 6-4. That's good, anyway, I wanted to show that I managed to break him twice. It proves that it's possible. Here we go, second set. Half-solid on my service games. He still makes a few mistakes in return, which suits me fine. This one is amazing. Well done! He defended that well. Big diagonal. Come on! That's well countered, he doesn't go for it. Perfect, come on. 15-40, two break points. It would be good to take those shots. Yes. Well countered with a forehand, he cracks. Come on! Break 2-1. 30-A, important here. Big mistake. - […] - Come on, 4-1. He's not going for it. A counter-punch. It's rolling, 5-1. Stay well concentrated and focused. You never know what might happen. Come on, match point. Great, victory. We qualify for the main draw. Victory, the breakers. It feels good. 6-4, 6-1, against Kyle Edmund. In the beginning, we held on. He was serving well, I thought. He was doing the serve plus one, up top. I don't know if you saw, but yesterday as well, during the match, I moved closer on the second serve. Usually, I'm four meters behind to return it deep, to start the rally. Yesterday, I positioned myself much closer to the baseline. There, as well, I tried to give the guy less time. So, if I miss my shot, I'm on the court, and the guy had a ball that was more or less short, so it wasn't easy. But I try to really hit through the ball to take time away from the guy. There, I mainly tried to take time away, on the backhand side. His forehand goes at a crazy speed, but he makes quite a few mistakes. It wasn't easy to choose whether I was going to backhand, or where he was holding it more, where there was exchange, and where, if I crossed a little less well, he could shift and send. Or if I would go a bit more to the forehand, even if it meant receiving a powerful shot initially, but to open up the backhand. What did I do? I made 3 aces, 0 doubles, 80% first serve. He made 4 aces, 3 doubles. I break in the first set. 4-3, I serve. He breaks me back, 4-4. I break back, 5-4. I confirm, 6-4. He was giving me a few free points, quite easily at times, especially on returns. It was good because it made me feel better about hitting my first serves, trying to attack a bit more than usual because I knew that in return I could get a fault here or there. He's going to put pressure on the second serve. I break him, not right away, but almost. Then, he kind of cracked. He made quite a few mistakes. He committed fully to the ball. Qualification secured, 4 ATP points earned. I don't know who I might play, I haven't looked at the final draw. I think I might face Čilić. I believe there are normally six qualifiers. There will be seven, six qualifiers, plus one "Lucky loser." I believe anyone can face Čilić, we'll see. It will be this afternoon. That's it, breakers. There, the program is spa for me, cold bath, relax, quiet. Afterward, breakfast. Short nap, washing machine to do. We'll quickly get to this afternoon. Above all, a recovery drink. Alright, see you later. Breakers, I have two guys who enlighten me. There was a little technical problem just before with Dan. We've sorted it out, it's fine. Playing tomorrow, 3rd rotation, from 7:00 p.m. From 3:00 p.m., of course. Against Trungelliti, a guy who has been… How many? 115? 112 in the world, he's ranked 140, seeded 7 in the draw.
