How to use match in a sentence?
We are very disappointed because we came here to go to the semi-finals and finals, but it was, I think in the end, a great match and Belgium played well. We have to accept that this is football.
You have to take bad calls on the chin at some point. I went to the bathroom twice during the match and obviously the fifth set was a long one, i think you should be allowed an extra toilet break if it's five sets. You have to respect the officials regardless of whatever happened in the match. You can have a word or two but they're trying to do a job and you have to respect that.
This match was on my racket because she (Sorribes Tormo) doesn't really have the game. She wasn't going for winners and I felt either the point was ended by me making an unforced error, or me making a winner, i feel like in the first set, I got a bit lucky there. In the second set I got a little bit unfocused and then in the third set I went zombie mode and then just thought of everything that I had to do to win.
We have to discredit those who believe that the age of democracy is over, as some of our fellow nations believe. We have to expose as false the narrative that decrees of dictators can match the speed and scale of the 21st( century) challenges, you know, and I know, they're wrong.
We need people’s experience to match their expectations, and there’s a massive disconnect right now, people think they’re getting nature and beautiful trails and instead they’re inhaling car exhaust for hours and finding trails and facilities overcrowded.
