Laszlo Đere was defeated at Roland Garros, and after the match he talked about the problems he is facing.
Serbia was left without one representative at Roland Garros. Laszlo Đere he lost to the seventh player in the world Andrei Rublev (Russia) – 6:1, 3:6, 6:3, 6:4. The Serbian player took the second set, equalized, it seemed that he might even be able to pull off a surprise as he broke in the third set and took a 2:0 lead, but that was all. In the end, he had to give his hand to his rival.
After the defeat, Laslo admitted that his main problem is self-confidence and mental strength.
“I slipped near the end of training on Saturday, I felt pain in my right flexor, it didn’t cause me that much of a problem, it was more in my head when moving. I relaxed in the second set, started to play better. In the third, I had a bad percentage of the first service, it didn’t help me. It’s a miracle that when I go to a 250 series tournament I don’t get someone out of the top 10, it makes me sick. When I would get into a rhythm… However, that doesn’t happen, I get a better draw in a couple of tournaments and then I beat Rublyov in the first round in two of the last three Grand Slams, that affects confidence,” Djere says.
He’s going to take a little break.
“I would like Hale to be my first next tournament, there are three weeks until then, I’ll see if I can push through it and not go to a smaller tournament. I don’t feel like tennis right now.”
He also talked about some other factors.
“The balls are disastrous, the pitches are different here every time. Karen Hačanov also complained about the ‘Suzan Lenglen’ stadium, the field gets too wet and then it becomes like mud. I wouldn’t say that I’m physically less fit, but after two and a half hours I hit every ball 200 percent, it goes backwardsĐere concluded.
As far as the continuation of the competition is concerned, in addition to Novak Đoković, Miomir Kecmanović, Filip Krajinović, Dušan Lajović and Hamad Međedović will play on the field in the men’s competition.
