Damir Dzumhur continues to thrive at the Srpska Open. After he took out Liam Broady, he beat French veteran and world no. 42 Richard Gasquet with 2:1, and secured his place in the quarter-finals where he will play against Andrey Rublev.<\/p>\n
“Djordje Djokovic scheduled me to play on Grandstand. That\u2019s why I won. It\u2019s a lucky court for me. I played there at a Challenger tournament before. Anyhow, it was an important match for me\u201d, said Damir Dzumhur.<\/p>\n
Audience cheered on Dzumhur throughout the match and the atmosphere at the stands reminded a little of a football match.<\/p>\n
“Audience was great. Stands were full and I really like that court. When I needed it the most, audience recognised the moment and showed me support. I was a real pleasure to play there. I would like to thank them for their support. I\u2019ll try to continue to play like this \u201d.<\/p>\n
In the quarter-finals, Dzumhur will play against the Russian player who has just won the Monte Carlo Masters tournament.<\/p>\n
“Rublev already showed in Monte Carlo that he\u2019s in great shape, maybe in the best shape in comparison with other players. This is the match that will show me much I can do and where is my place at the moment. Anyhow, this victory against Gasquet is a triumph too, but the next match will be really challenging. One things is for sure. Rublev has a great advantage over me\u201d.<\/p>\n
Dzumhur received wild card from Srpska Open Director Djordje Djokovic<\/p>\n
“I didn\u2019t have too many opportunities for wildcards throughout my career because our country doesn\u2019t have many tournaments. I\u2019ve received two wildcards last year and I used wisely both of them. I\u2019m glad that I\u2019ve managed to justify their expectations\u201d.<\/p>\n
Wind was giving trouble to Dzumhur in the third set but it didn\u2019t affect the outcome.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlthough I don\u2019t like to play in windy weather I managed to surprise myself with my own results this year. As much as I talked that I couldn\u2019t play, I managed to play rather well. Anyhow, I believe that weather conditions should not be paid too much attention to because you can lose focus\u201d.<\/p>\n
Novak Djokovic also said that conditions are very slow and that tennis balls wear out quickly and Dzumhur corroborated his impressions.<\/p>\n
” It\u2019s the weather. It was raining in the last couple of days. However, tennis balls give the most trouble, they wear out quickly and most of the players complain of the same thing. It will get better when the weather gets better\u201d, Dzumhur concluded.<\/p>\n
