¡°He was encouraging me. He was actually giving me tactics, as well. He was like, ¡®Hold your serve, get an easy first ball, then dictate, go to his backhand.¡¯ He was coaching me, literally," he added.
¡°I found that very cute, very nice. So I felt like giving the racquet to the best person was him after the match. That was kind of my gratitude for him sticking with me and supporting me," he added.
