“I refused just to throw in the towel and walk off. I struggled physically but could not retire, respecting my opponent and fans who waited hours to see me play. Realistically, I can not see myself playing a singles match at the Australian Open again!

I tried because of the fans. That’s why I walked out without headphones, as I wanted to hear the crowd and enjoy those special moments. It’s tough when you struggle physically at the biggest tournaments.

However, the year has just started, and I hope to do some cool things in the remaining months of 2025. I did not play a match at Majors for over 800 days. Still, I kept motivated and worked hard on the court and gym.

Instead of enjoying and thinking about strokes and tactics, I have to manage my body. It hurts me too much, and it’s not tennis I like to play. I served below 200 km/h tonight, and I’m not a threat without my initial shot. I knew there was no chance for my abdominal to improve.
