It's tough to play against Ivo and it's also tough to play with wind.

When you have a big chance like this and you don't get it, then it's tough, no? I gave him the chance to survive, and then he just kill me.

But when you are down here it doesn't seem like you are down because I have so many fans cheering for me.

I am not here to prepare for the French Open. I am here to try to win the tournament.

He was playing great and I just had to scrap my way back into it, ... I have no idea how I did it.

At the moment my game is better.

It was a tough game and after the second set things did not look good for me. But I showed morale and came back.

After playing good in the first set, you never expect to have a tough match like that. It's tough to get in a rhythm after that. He did good to come back, but it's my mistakes that allowed him to come back. I prefer to win 6-0, 6-0 in my matches and make it quick so I can go watch a movie. I'm going back to my room now to watch a tape I have of Million Dollar Baby.

We have to live in the present. I was very focused and I knew what I had to do to beat him. At the moment, I can beat him every time.
