Cesar

It was a very tough match with him because he is playing well. He won a tournament a few weeks ago and he played really well in Cairo.

I knew it would be a hard first round. I also knew it would be tough because I felt something in my leg at the U.S. Open. I came back to Mexico to work with my physio and my doctor, and I feel a little bit better, especially after winning this one as well.
