Petrounias commented: “What happened is ceazy. I am going to be have an operation on Monday morning! … Before the final, I said that ‘it’s the last time I’ve got this pain on my left shoulder, so I’ll enjoy the game’, which I did! I’m a little afraid of the surgery because I have not had a surgery on my shoulder before, but I’m looking forward to it because I’ve been carrying this pain there for ten months and I can not stand it anymore…”
