I didn't feel hundred percent yet. In the middle of the third set, I lose power, lose everything, and don't feel good. But, well, that's normal. I was sick in the beginning of the week, so I thought that I was better than I play. I expect to be better physically, but not hundred percent yet.
I didn't spend a lot of time on court, so I am happy for that. I am happy because I played very good. Every round, better and better.
I didn't hear the first warning. He didn't tell me anything.
For the next time, very important matches or big moments, I will be different on court,
I couldn't find my game. His forehand is very good, and he's improved the backhand so much. That's why he's number one in the world.
I couldn't do my best shots in the first set so it was very tough -- both of us had break points but nobody could make it. Then I start playing a little better and my returns come better all the time and he falls down a little bit. I really feel good at start of second set.
He's very young; he play very good; he will be more dangerous than today.
In the beginning, it was very tough, windy. I was a bit nervous. When I got a bit of confidence, I started hitting harder and better, with angles near to the line.
In the beginning it was very tough, windy. Also, Fabrice has a very special game. It's not easy to come and hit winners from the first point.
In the beginning it was very tough, Fabrice has a very special game. When I got a bit of confidence I started hitting harder and harder and got good angles near the line.
I'm in semis this year, and I hope to win it.
The country to beat now is Croatia. It won't be at all easy.
I'm very confident we can win and it's going to be incredible.
