"I think I haven't missed an overhead for a long time," he said. "I don't think it's a weakness. It's just something that happens in a bad moment, you lose your balance and you miss the overhead... Sometimes it's not possible to be as efficient as possible, but most of the overheads that I make are in the court and are winners."
