My game is to be much more aggressive, play a bit riskier than him... So when the wind starts to blow, then it takes the ball and I start to make mistakes
The wind doesn't help my game, but it's the same for both of us ... In the first set, beginning of the second set, I had a feeling I was beating him in the rallies. But I didn't keep with the change of conditions and that was probably the difference.
