The concentration and the physical are important in my game. All my shots are not unbelievable, but all my shots are not bad. The serve is a little bit better this year, and that's important.

The doctors advised me not to take any chances. I would love to have played here in Rotterdam, all the more so because I've not played for a long time. But I have to be completely fit first. If I play, I want to give it all I have.

The incident was bad for me. I was 4-0, 0-30 when it happened and then I lost the game. I didn't like it at all. It's not good for the show on court.

This is my first match (on clay) for a long time. So it is important to begin with a victory. But I didn't play very well — I was a little nervous. Clement played very aggressive, I played very defensively.
