\u201cI was getting stuck there for a while and I felt like it was yesterday’s match in the third set where I felt like I found that feeling, that mental feeling, where I just went after the match in the third set,\u201d Sherif said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI focused on every point, and I got that feeling that I didn’t feel in a while. I told my coach after the match, \u2018That’s it. I got it, I know how I need to play, I know how that mentality has to be on the court\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think I translated that today and I closed out very well because a lot of matches that I lost lately, I would win the first set and the second set would get complicated even though I’m controlling everything. I got that confidence to kill it today and that’s what I’m very happy for.\u201d<\/p>\n
