An interview with:
JUANMARTÍN DELPOTRO
THE MODERATOR: Questions in Spanish.
Q. As we go further in the tournament, the matches are getting more difficult,
I guess. What happened today? You were not very comfortable on the court. Was
it the wind? Your opponent?
JUAN MARTÍN DEL POTRO: Well, a bit of everything. And it was my opponent
mostly. I was not very comfortable during 80% of mymatch, and then the court.
I didn't feelvery comfortable, either. It was very dry, very fast. He is a
very hard hitter. He hits his ball very hard, and sometimes it's difficult to
return.
Then, you know, I managed the important moments well, and during the -- at
5-All in the second set and also in the first set, by the way. So I suffered, it's true, but I went
through.
Q. Talking about the court, what happened in the first set?
JUAN MARTÍN DEL POTRO: Well, I realized when I walked on the court,I
realized that the court was very dry, very dry. So I asked them to water the
court in the first set. They said no. Then I asked them to water the court a
second time during the second set, and they did, but then there was wind. So
it wasn't perfect.
Then my serve was not all that good, but, you know, at important moments when
I had this break point against me, I managed to serve an ace. I also saved
match points and I managed to win the match on my first serve.
Q. You are now going to play Tsonga, so this must be very important for you.
JUAN MARTÍN DEL POTRO: Yes. This is going to be a very difficult match. I'll
play on the central court, and he plays very well indeed. He won in Monaco,a
very high level match, so that helped him with his confidence level, and
he played awfully well today. That was a very quick match for him, so I have to
be careful on all points to go furtherin this tournament.
Q. So your next match is on the central court. You never played there, or
maybe once, just once. Is it an advantage because Tsonga has always played his
matches on the central court, and you played your matches on much smaller
courts? Is it a positive or negative point for you?
JUAN MARTÍN DELPOTRO: Well, I'd like to have time to practice tomorrow to get
some feelings about this court, you know. It's much bigger. You've got five
meters behind you as compared to the smaller courts I played on so far. But I
know I have to be very focused and to be very careful, because the entire
crowd will be supporting him. That's for sure.
We're here in Paris. The crowd is going to support him, so I have to be
focused, play my game, play my match, and not start thinking about
other things which are not related to the match.
Q. Can you still have fun and pleasure playing at such a high level in
thetournament, or do you stop having fun at one stage?
JUAN MARTÍN DEL POTRO: No, you always have fun when you play tennis,even
after a third round in a Grand Slam. I mean, maybe today I didn't have that
much fun because I was not feeling comfortable with the game of my opponent,
but I love to have fun duringthe fourth round. I'll be playing on the central
court against a French player who is a beautiful player, and, you know,all
this is quite motivating. It helps you forget everything and just have fun and
pleasure.
Q. Who's the favorite? No. 5 or the local player?
JUAN MARTÍN DEL POTRO: No, the local player
