"We played a good game, Mandy improved compared to the previous meeting. Of course, I have progressed a lot in the last few days, serve is getting better. The rivals couldn’t brake me during the doubles tournament. I feel that every element of my game is a bit better, also compared to the individual. But there is much spare in me. Saturday's opponent is well known, we are almost contemporaries. I feel we will have a good chance of winning, but of course we have to play well"- Timi said after the semi-final.
