''What a weekend,'' he began his post on Facebook. ''Sunday started very modestly. My muscles and shoulder still had to warm up a bit at the beginning. Fortunately, I got through the first match well and even reached the semi-finals.''

In the semi-final against Williams, however, nerves got the upper hand. The nervousness was my biggest opponent. Despite the nerves, I got some chances, and delivered a good match.''

''Apparently I have to wait a little longer to take a step further, but I will keep working hard to win such matches in the future,'' Schindler said.
