Alex De Minaur beat Jiri Lehecka 7-5 in the third to make it Australia 1 Czechia 1.

Afterwards he spoke to the media and had this to say:

“It would have been easy to roll over, but that’s not the type of player I am.”

“My reputation precedes me, and maybe that’s why I won.”

“I sensed an opportunity when he was serving for it.”

“I just felt like through that match at the times where I celebrated like crazy, he ended up playing better. I was, like, you know what? I'm just going to keep it the same. I'm just going to have a little bit of a poker face and try to just not react, not act, and try to play the same point over and over again.”

“I was able to play four points like that and get the break. Look, it's all about conserving energy, knowing when, you know, when you need to release some of that pressure, and that's probably when you'll here a big "Come on."”

“Sometimes you get into very dark spots in that match, and you've got to find a way to stay positive and stay your course, you know, kind of change the mentality.”
