Džumhur: I will show my best tennis against Nadal

MELBOURNE, (Patria) - Bosnia and Herzegovina's best tennis player Damir Džumhur, after his victory in the second round of the Australian Open, stated that in the upcoming match against the world's best tennis player, Spain's Rafael Nadal, he does not want to enter with a white flag.

Džumhur promised that he will show his best tennis against Nadal.

- Today was an extremely tough match, but I am showing that I am mentally strong. I continued where I left off last year. I did my part of the job at the Australian Open. I played much better than in the first round, I could have finished the match earlier - Džumhur said after the second-round victory.

In the match against local player John Millman, Džumhur used three break points in the second set at 3-1.

- After losing the second set, I made a game that was winning. I played the third and fourth sets at a top level - our ace pointed out.

Džumhur expressed hope that he will fully recover by the match against Rafael Nadal, which is scheduled in two days.

- I have the motivation to play as well as possible against him. I want to show my best tennis. I am not going with a white flag, I want to try to do something - Damir said ahead of the match against the world's best player at the moment.

Džumhur already plays a doubles match tomorrow together with Serbian tennis player Dušan Lajović, which could be a burden before the match against Nadal. However, Damir emphasized that he will give his best, and that he will use all available time for rest.

- I am going for a big result - our tennis player said full of optimism.

Džumhur has played against Nadal once in his career and celebrated a victory. They played in 2016 at the Masters in Miami, when the Spaniard retired at 2-6, 6-4, 3-0 in favor of our tennis player.
