I just tried to calm myself - in some moments I was mad," he said. "I was angry with myself, talking not good things. I'm happy that I didn't let that thought play against me. "I tried to calm myself and tried to keep going. That's what I tried. "Every time we face each other we bring the level to the top. We entertained the people. He is a really powerful player.
