"I broke serve successfully at the beginning, but then made some mistakes." This ATP thousand-level indoor hard court competition is being held at the La Défense Arena in Paris. Facing the menacing Mitchelson, the 23-year-old Aikalaz showed his all-round skills and gradually won the least. He broke through the bottleneck on the indoor hard court in his hand and continued his winning momentum in Vienna at the 500 level. He has now won 6 consecutive victories. "He played very well because the bottom line is very stable, so the game is very difficult... but I am very satisfied with everything and can't wait to play again."
