Jeremy Scatena qualified, with his Spanish teammate Bernils, for the quarter-finals of the'APT Belgium Open 2021. He reacts a few moments after going off the track and having a little fright in front of the French pair Julien Seurin / Lilian Fouré.

Doubts in the game

"We have a bit special game… When things are going well we can play very well. But when you have no more objectives and you don't know what you are doing on the ground, it becomes more difficult. ”

"Bernils is not very trained but has a lot of talent. Between 4/2 and 4/4, he made 9 points in a row in 3 minutes, and there it is quite incredible. It's up to me to frame the game so that it can be expressed in the best conditions. ”

A complicated part of the painting

" bullet does not come out much in the end, so it doesn't really favor us. We will have a very hard quarter with very slow conditions. We will have to be mentally armed to get by, because it will be difficult to finish the points. ”

“The aim is togo to semi-finals, because behind we play guys (Oliviera / Rocafort) who are much more trained than my partner. It's not that my partner is weaker, it's that not being trained enough makes hard to win the match. We will be in the game but it will be difficult to manage the important points. ”

“Winning the quarters will already be a good tournament, after if we can reach the final we will go to the end. After a match, the central ... the public… that there is not."

Conditions that affect the mind

“I'm not going to go out to the Benoît Paire, but I understood what he meant. Today we are in Liège, the APT is fighting and it's amazing to get to have a tournament. ”

“Everything is closed, it's a life that I can't accept. Not living that long is hard. I say it differently than Benoît (Pair), but frankly playing and that there is never anyone in the street, not a bar open for months and months I find that incredible. ”

"This is difficult to have fun in life today. It affects me a lot, but I'm going to try to see the bright side and be successful. I already have the chance to play, I am privileged. Many people cannot play padel. As soon as I'm on the court I try to make the most of every second. ”
