"I will try to do my best in the semi-finals to be able to do the same result as Juan Carlos, and of course trying to fight into the final. Of course to beat Juan Carlos, to try to win this tournament means a lot. If I win this tournament, I will make jokes to him that I am better than him. It would be amazing."
