Monday, June 20, 2005
[1]Roger Federer (SUI) d. Paul-Henri Mathieu (FRA) 64 62 64
Q. Happy? That was the one you feared most.
Rogi: Well, yeah, it's definitely a good start to the tournament.
I think there's always something special, you know, when
you come back and defend -try to defend the Wimbledon
championship. So I'm definitely very happy to have done
that. Very important first step.
Q. Has the tension you said you'd feel gone now or will it come
back at the start of your next match?
Rogi: I definitely got more pressure off my back now. Luckily
I've played my next opponent, as well. I played him in
Dubai this year. Looking forward, you know, to play him
again.
But definitely feel sort of relieved, you know, after this
start. Looking forward to the rest. Now it's sort of
getting interesting. You're into the tournament, you've
seen the fans, you don't have to leave right away, so that
is nice (smiling).
Q. Was it nice coming on? You got a good cheer as you walked out.
Gave them a little wave as you walked on.
Rogi: Yeah, I thought it was a great applause I got, you know,
from the fans and from the crowd. That was definitely a
nice welcome.Also nice walking off,which I said yesterday
was going to be nicer, you know, especially in case I win.
Q. How did the court play? Was it slow ? ish, soft?ish? Was it
what you expected?
Rogi: Uhm, yeah,I think it's very similar to the outside courts.
I didn't have to adjust that much. Obviously, in a match
situation -- matches are always different than practice.
Right away you feel different.
But I really thought the grass was beautiful. When I
started to warm up, everything was just perfect. Once the
match went on, you saw little holes coming. But I thought
it was a beautiful court because -- honestly I don't
quite remember my match too much against Bogdanovic last
year. I just remember being really focused and trying to
get the match over and done with. Didn't really maybe
enjoy the moment so much, where I thought this year I
could do it much more.
Q. You played five minutes before anybody made a volley. I kept
thinking, "Maybe they've forgotten they're on grass."
Rogi: Yeah, well, I didn't want to storm too much to the net
too quickly. I also wanted to definitely get my rhythm
first. Yeah, I think I came in on a return, wasn't it?
Q. Yes.
Rogi: Yeah, we didn't play much serve and volley ? especially
him. I had the feeling on first serves he wasn't making
many returns, you know. When I was serve and volleying,
I wasn't even getting the volley. But you're right, I
think we definitely could have played more serve and
volley, but I won the way playing from the back. Who
knows, maybe next match. It's a different opponent and
I'll play totally different.
Q. Do you sort of feel loved here now when you come? People
give you a good reception when you're wandering around?
Anything unusual at all?
Rogi: I warmed up this morning at 11 on the outside courts.
Everybody just came into the gates, into the grounds.
Everyone you meet was, "Good luck, good luck, good luck."
It was a lot of fun. I was really surprised how many gave
me -- you know,they cheered for me. But I guess, you know
, in England they are very friendly and very nice to you.
Really definitely enjoyed that.
