De Minaur talks about his exciting matchup with Fonseca after the game
In the third round of the Miami Masters, De Minaur defeated the new generation leader Fonseca 5-7/7-5/6-3.
In his post-match interview, De Minaur was honest about the mental strain of the match with Fonseca. He said that he really felt that pressure when facing Fonseca today, and to be honest, he was not sure if it could be compared to his previous experience. But there is no doubt that it was an extremely difficult battle.
De Minaur had a clear vision of the bout from the start, knowing that Fonseca was a talented, dangerous and explosive player, and that at the moment Fonseca was not only full of confidence, but also the support of the crowd. So he knew he had a tough fight ahead of him, he had to give it his all and put his head down, and he's very happy to win it.
Speaking about the tactical use of the game, De Minaur mentioned that he heard a discussion about the strategy against Fonseca's backhand. He knew that while he was trying to target his backhand more, Fonseca's forehand shot from the touchline angle was a threat. He thinks that Fonseca, as a top player, will try a lot of shots that may not have a high success rate, but with a strong confidence, many of them can be successfully hit. In the early stages of the game, Fonseca defused a lot of wonderful backhand balls and played a beautiful backhand straight ball.
De Minaur felt that what he did well in the second set was to hit Fonseca's forehand side more often, allowing his opponent to run more and increase his physical exertion. He learned that Fonseca was young but had played a number of matches in a row, so he realized that if he could make the match more physically demanding, his chances of winning would increase.
At the same time, De Minaur stressed that this game is also crucial on a mental level and must be focused at all times. He thinks that it is useless to go on the field, complaining, panicking, etc., and he tells himself that this is not only a battle with his opponent, but also a contest with the atmosphere of the audience, and the only way to do it is to work hard and try to play every point.
It was a thrilling match, and De Minaur's victory with a brilliant performance also brought the matchup to a successful conclusion.
At the same time, Fonseca's exit is also very regrettable. Fitness and the distribution of physical fitness is a big problem. Sum up the experience and keep up the good work. [Come and see me] [Zuoyi] [Rose] [Heart]
