He claimed that "life is first-come, first-served." Moreover, he asked for "more sportsmanship" while threatening legal action against "online hate.""Robbing a kid on international TV and then threatening lawsuits because the internet hurt his feelings.

He reached the third round just like he did the first time he played the main draw of the event. Unfortunately, the Pole had to retire mid-match in the third round.
