"In the first set, I was playing well, which was good as this is my first match after my illness that forced me to skip the French Open as well as Wimbledon. In the second set, I rushed to finish games when I had break points but I made some mistakes and my opponent came back. I try to do my best at this tournament even without my coach who had to fly home. This is my first time in Budapest and I like it here. It's a really nice environment next to the river Danube."- said Shia Peng after ger match.
