    Toughest opponent of your career?

    It's always a difficult question. I've been playing for almost 20 years, so I've faced a lot of amazing players. There are obviously some that I'm not comfortable with in 100% - you know, they're opponents whose style doesn't quite suit me. I've beaten all the top players at some point, so I know that on a good day I can beat anyone on any table. Last season's toughest moment was a duel at the Tornado World Series, where Ryan Moore \u201ecrushed\u201d me in the OS semi-finals.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    The toughest match at the Rosengart Polish Championships?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    I would say the quarter-final match at OS against Samo Halgos. I underestimated him a bit and suddenly I was losing 2:1 in the set and 4:1 in the fourth set. I even had two match balls on \u201ethree\u201d. At one point I just told myself that I had to relax and fight for every ball. Somehow I managed to turn the match around and win. It was definitely a very difficult moment for me at this tournament.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    I love playing fast and cleverly using freestyle elements such as sling shots and creative moves. In singles play, I really like to take advantage of the fact that my opponent has four rods but only two hands - if you read the game right, you can always find a spot to exploit.<\/p>

    What don't I like? A boring, robotic style of play where you wait too long. This style makes football less attractive and difficult to watch for the audience.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Rosengart, without a doubt. I spend probably 80% playing time on it, so I feel at home on it. I really trust my game on this table. Of the official tables I would still choose Bonzini. It's very specific and not for everyone, but I like its style. It has its own charm.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Definitely Open Singles. I like the fact that it's all up to me - no excuses, no one else to rely on. I like building the game, adapting tactics and dealing with the pressure myself.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Football is definitely not attractive to spectators. This leads to a lack of sponsors and financial support, which in turn affects how seriously players take the sport. If there was more money and sponsors, the whole environment and professionalism of the sport would be completely different.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
