 | Team hopeful of his results on hard courts before Indian Wells10-03-2018 |
World number 6 Dominique Team has admitted he needs an improvement in his game to play hard in the big hardcore tournaments - Masters in Indian Wells and Miami. The 24-year-old Austrian has nine ATP titles on his account so far in his career, but only one of them has been hit on a hard floor - in Mexico in 2016. Six of the triumphs are on his favorite clay, and he has one on the grass - in Stuttgart in 2016. I always try to change things in my game to perform well on hard courts. I played three such tournaments so far - Doha was good, Australia - too. I lost in Acapulco, but Del Potro won the title, and I do not think I`ve done so badly. I think I`m in the right direction.
The lack of Nadal, Wawrinka, Randi? and Murray will not make the way to the Indian Wells title, because many young players are picking up speed, and Del Potro returns to the highest level. It`s a big name we missed last year. I do not think it would be easier than ever to win titles because anyone injured will be replaced by another very good tennis player, said Team. At the start of the year in Doha, the Austrian stepped into the semifinals of Gael Monfis, in Australia he was stopped in the last round by Tennis Sandgren, and Acapulco reached the 1/4-finals before being eliminated by Del Potro. These are his results on hard courts so far in 2018.
