World No. 72 Arthur Rinderknech spoke about his feelings after defeating Alexander Zverev in a thrilling five-set match in the first round of Wimbledon. The final score was 6/7(3), 7/6(8), 3/6, 7/6(5), 4/6. The intense encounter extended over two days due to the tournament`s curfew rules.
`I`ll start with the spectators – I feel the same way you do, with your `Uuu!` every time. It makes me feel like I`m losing my words when I hear `Uuu!` (laughs). My legs are still shaking from the emotions. I`m happy the match is finally over. I didn`t sleep much last night – only six hours. Our sport is incredibly intense, the emotions are off the charts,` the Frenchman stated in his on-court interview.
