INTERNAZIONALI BNL D'ITALIAMay 12, 2016Kei NishikoriRome, Italy K. NISHIKORI/R. Gasquet 6-1, 6-4 THE MODERATOR: Questions, please. Q. I think you lost to Richard something like six times in a row and now you've beaten him twice and won very well. What's the biggest change? KEI NISHIKORI: That was I think I played two years ago last time and I played last week, too, but on clay I think it's a little bit different condition, and I think it's a little bit better for me, you know, to play on clay because I have more time and I can play aggressive and also have good defense on clay. So obviously I think I'm being different player than last few years ago, and I have good tactics before the match, you know. And last week and today, too. I think that's the biggest difference. Q. It's obviously a busy time of the season, very demanding with big events back to back. How are you feeling energy-wise, fitness-wise? KEI NISHIKORI: Today was good. I felt a lot of energy. I had a good rest yesterday. Yeah, these two weeks are not easy, especially I did semifinal last week and coming here Sunday. So not easy, but I try to fight one more week before French Open. Q. Were you expecting to face Roger in the next round? KEI NISHIKORI: Yeah, I mean, I was waiting for, but I think Thiem is also really tough player on clay. He won a title this year on clay, I think. So, you know, really tough player. Yeah, I try to prepare well for tomorrow. Q. Do you know Doi? She's in the quarterfinals, too. KEI NISHIKORI: Oh, she won? Q. What about can you say about her? KEI NISHIKORI: Well, yeah, she's been playing really well this year, I think. She's a lefty and good forehand, she has. Yeah, it's good to see especially on clay she's been playing well. Yeah, hope she can do well these tournaments. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
