Very unfortunate, unlucky situation for me, you know.
00:03
It was an accident where, you know, that guy leaned over the fence and the bottle dropped
00:11
from his rucksack and landed directly on my head, you know.
00:16
It was unexpected, obviously.
00:18
I wasn't even looking up and then I felt a very strong hit in the head.
00:26
And that has really impacted me a lot.
00:34
After that I got medical care and been through half an hour, an hour of nausea and dizziness
00:48
and blood and a lot of different things.
00:52
But I managed to sleep okay.
00:54
I had headaches but the next day or yesterday was pretty fine.
00:58
So I thought it's okay.
01:00
But maybe it is okay, maybe it's not.
01:03
I mean, the way I felt on the court today was just completely from, it's like a different
01:09
player entered in my shoes.
01:15
No rhythm, no tempo, no balance whatsoever on any shot.
01:18
So it's a bit concerning.
