Vliegen: “The best result of our career”
“We don’t really realize it yet,” said Jöran Vliegen. “Semi-finals in a major tournament! We are very happy with the level we have reached.”
“We came back from a break in the back and stayed calm enough in the tie-break to win in straight sets. But I think we deserved to win. We were aggressive and present in the net.”
“It is clear that this is the best result of our career,” said Fliegen. “The semi-final of a major tournament is a giant step for us. Last year we lost in the super break in the third round.”
“We were close to it a lot of times, but it just didn’t work out in our favour. That’s the kind of performance we’ve been working towards all year. It gives us a real boost. And of course we want more.”
