In a post-match interview, he said: "I was stressed in the third set after losing my serve. In the fourth set, I didn’t even realize I was serving for the match. Maybe it was better that way."
Dzumhur advances to the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time in 7 years (Roland-Garros 2018) and will face Carlos Alcaraz in the next round.
