All I can do is say sorry, what I showed on court was not at all nice. |
But I gave it all. I ran, tried hard and just gave all that I could. |
Canas is not a criminal. He didn't kill anyone. I know him very well and he would never take anything to give himself an advantage. It was an accident. |
Hardcourt is the favorite surface of Johansson, and it will bea difficult task for me to challenge the Swede. I must player better than today when facing Johansson, |
He played really well, took his chances at the net and the crowd really helped him out (in the fourth set). It was a fantastic battle. |
He really let loose and while it was a mistake not to take advantage of some of his serving errors, he really played a fine match. |
He started very fast. He was playing very high balls. I was a little bit surprised at his speed at the beginning of the match, |
He's always fought for his goals. He always left everything on court and off the court he's a fighter. I'm sure he'll be back. |
He's having a big year and is very confident, and he's also got luck on his side at the moment, ... I leave the tournament happy with my form though. I'm not disappointed as today I lost against a very good player. |
I am finding my game and today it was another difficult first set. Volandri played very well and there was nothing I could do. Then I had luck in the 3-2 and managed to win the set. Probably he got a bit tired from yesterday. |
I am happy to have won this easy. It is good for the next rounds since I will save energy that I am sure I will be needing. It wasn't easy to play today. The weather conditions made the court very heavy. |
I am not disappointed losing to Rafael (Nadal). He is an excellent player with tremendous confidence inside, and it seems luck is always on his side. |
I am quite happy to be back here after my victory two years ago and I am hoping to go to Shanghai, ... It is extra motivation to be top seed. But there are still other players who can win here and who I still need to beat. |
I am very happy to win in three sets a match that was very difficult. But my objective is to win on Sunday. |
I am very happy. It was a very tough match. It was hot again. That's the kind of tournament I need to get back to my perfect shape. |
