In the first round of the Australian Open men's singles yesterday, China's Buyun Chaokert lost 6-7(4)/4-6/6-7(6) to qualifier Habib and failed to win in the main draw of the Australian Open in his first appearance.
Reflecting on the match after the match, Buyunchaoket said: "First of all, of course, congratulations to the other party, he played very well today, he basically didn't have any chances on his serve, so it put a lot of pressure on me, and I was always in a situation where there was no room for error. I can only try to protect my serve, my mental state is already nervous enough for each game, and then I meet this type of player, the pressure is more on the psychological level. So he controlled the pace of the game a little bit and he was nervous as he got closer to the end of the third set, and I think that's his normal level, so he gave me some chances. ”
Buyunchaoket said he expected his opponent's performance before the match: "I actually know him a lot, because we played in March, and I think I was quite calm about the whole match. He saved three match points in the third round of qualifying, so obviously he was much more open than I was in the fight. Actually, I don't think I'm at my own good level. Because like I said earlier, he put a lot of pressure on me mentally in this game, and the atmosphere on the scene put pressure on me. This is my first time in the main selection because he is a player ranked lower than me, so the way he plays makes me feel double the pressure than in previous matches. ”
Despite missing out on his first Grand Slam win, Buyunchokert was able to gain something from this match: "Of course it will give me a lot of gains, because I have a new experience on a mental level, and I have been looking for ways to play like my opponent today, and I have not given up, so today I did what I could, but maybe I didn't play very well today." ”
As for the next plan, Buyun Chaokert said: "Next, I reported the 250 in France, and Dallas, so I should go and play for these two weeks, and then mainly Indian Wells and Miami, which should basically be on the American side." ”
