"It's amazing again, what happened ... The one thing that it was a very difficult draw. But the opponent played so well, especially Stosur ... Unbelievable ... I’m very disappointed and I'm angry and all! I'm sorry, really! I will play Mixed Doubles, but it will be a preparation for the grass, for s'Hertogenbosch"- said Timi.
