"Thanks to my physio" πŸ™Œ | Dan Evans speaks after reaching the US Open third round

[Music] Lexis presents tennis on Sky Sports Dan the first question has to be how are you feeling and how did you do that um yeah I'm only I'm literally just bit sore really that's all um I slept a bit in the day today and um yeah I was just really tired for since the match the other night and or day but yeah I recovered really well I didn't hit yesterday and just really focused on trying to get myself um ready for today uh the sort of game plan was pretty not very physical if if I was going to beat him was pretty he probably would have told you already if I do what I was supposed to do it wouldn't be that physical so it actually really helped I had to do that and um and yeah I got through yeah we were looking at some of the stats I mean I think you came into the net about 50 times in the match which is uh which is a good number but as you say given the circumstances of your first round you knew the way that you wanted to play and you must be pretty chuffed the way you executed it yeah yeah it forced me to to do to do just that and it um really focused me uh it was strange like 20 40 48 Hours um I felt I don't know why I felt a bit more extra pressure to win I didn't really want to be win that match and then lose to yeah the next round it didn't wouldn't feel feel right and um really wanted to to focus hard and I I did that pretty good and talk talk me through that last service game were you so tired that you didn't have too much nervous energy or you just pretty clear with the way what had been working I was never serving it anywhere but the wide one on the first I had a little little thought with little chat with myself and I just said get it out there and and then he gave me a cheap one and that was nice and uh and a cheap one to him was that part of the driving force Stan in wanting to back up what was what turned out to be a historic match when you didn't want it to end just there yeah it yeah it was um as I said it was a really strange 48 Hours really like everybody's congratulating me it was almost a bit embarrassing how many I you know I was like I didn't want to say no has been going on quite a long time the long history I wasn't too yeah I'm I'm proud of it but not that bothered about me I wanted to get through and um no I'm obviously proud but I just wanted to get that that meant everything to get for that round it was just important for me uh yeah thanks to my physio basically um and the attitude is you know there's more work to yeah more work to be done for him for the video they finish they got the worst job I wanted to ask what did recovery look like and what's it going to look like now ahead of meeting Alex De Manor on Saturday hit balls tomorrow or just give it a rest I don't know um I'll ask him uh you make the decisions don't you that's what we like to think um no I've been in yeah in and out of the ice bath quite a bit um lots of like Mobility just to get myself going and yeah I probably will hit tomorrow I think it's it wasn't that that bad today and hopefully I'll recover you know little by little and there's hopefully more to come we don't want to keep you for too long because you do need to start the recovery but it's amazing stuff Dan so congratulations thanks so much thank you well done cheers great work good stuff thank you very much good luck
