BRISBANE INTERNATIONAL PRESENTED BY SUNCORPJanuary 4, 2015Kaia KanepiBRISBANE, QUEENSLAND K. KANEPI/A. Petkovic THE MODERATOR: Questions, please. Q. Pretty impressive way to start the season. Feeling like you were hitting it pretty cleanly today? KAI KANEPI: Yeah, I felt I was hitting very well. I also was hitting good in Estonia, so I felt confident coming here. Q. You mentioned that after the match, that you were training over there before coming here. KAI KANEPI: Yeah, I was in Estonia for two months training there only indoors in the cold and rainy and dark. Q. Must be a big change coming out to the heat and everything here. KAI KANEPI: Yes, but it was very nice actually. I like heat and warm weather better. Q. Did you feel drained? Pretty hot day out there. How are you feeling? KAI KANEPI: No, I felt good. I didn't feel that heat that much because I like heat. I don't like dry weather. Q. You seemed to have a few troubles with your serve in the third set. Was that a problem for you? KAI KANEPI: Yeah, I felt my back was getting tired, because at the end of the season I had problems with my back and I haven't played any match since two and a half months. But it's nothing serious. It's just haven't had the matches. Q. So it was just tight and getting tired? KAI KANEPI: Yeah, getting tired. Q. Yeah. The serve, did it exceed your expectations after the long time off? KAI KANEPI: Sorry? Q. How did you feel in this first competitive game in two months? Were you satisfied with it? KAI KANEPI: I was really, really happy actually. I didn't expect anything. I just wanted to have a good match, and I thought the longer I be on the court the better for me. Q. And your record here in Brisbane is pretty good. I guess did you feel confidence coming out here? KAI KANEPI: Yes, of course. Winning this tournament, I will always remember that, even if I come back here in ten years or doesn't matter. So I still have the feeling, and I feel, I think, better because of that. (Smiling.) Q. How do you think your form compares to when you won here? Sort of different circumstances. KAI KANEPI: I don't know actually. It's tough to say. It also depends of my opponents, how good they playing and how well I'm playing and if I have luck or no. So it's tough matches all the time.
