”It's difficult because I try to do things step by step, improving every day, but there is a moment when I have to try to give 100%. I need to lose the fear I had. In Brisbane I had a small tear where I was injured which I had to have surgery for. They had to remove a significant portion of my psoas tendon and strengthen that area more than before. It takes time for the hip to get used to the new configuration. I have made progress over the past few weeks, but now I need to move forward. I have to see how things develop. If I can adapt to everything. Roland-Garros is in three weeks and I have to push my body to prepare for what is coming.”
In more popular language, it's make or break for the Majorcan who will have to push hard at some point to know his new limits.
Zizou Bergs' reaction after his match against Nadal.
”I still have problems, the question is whether they limit me or not. In a way they limit me, but I have to try not to. I need to get rid of this fear of breaking up. Once this transition period is over, I have to push myself and prove myself. If I break down, I break down. No chance. That’s the goal for this week. The reality is that a match like this helps the body adapt to the demand levels set by the circuit. If I come out of these matches alive, it's always good news. In terms of tennis, I have to do things much better. I think I'm capable of playing much better than today. I feel closer to the level I want to reach in training, but then I have to put it into practice in matches and it costs me. Day to day, I have a positive outlook on the situation.”
