March 24, 1996

Gabriela Sabatini

GABRIELA SABATINI: Hi.

GABRIELA SABATINI: There were a few people; my parents, my coach.

GABRIELA SABATINI: Yeah, I mean, I was -- first of all, I didn't know I was playing today again.

GABRIELA SABATINI: No, I didn't know before the match, so, I guess I was glad that I didn't know because I would have been very mad. I just can't understand how they can make the schedule like that. I guess he is not playing today, so what's the point to make him, you know, play first, then I played last, then I have to play again today, and early today. I mean, they don't even put me, you know, later in the day, so I was extremely mad, you know, last night, today.

GABRIELA SABATINI: I couldn't talk to anybody. My coach did, but I will talk. I guess it is an ATP tournament, that's what they said, and that's not how it is. We are playing here, too, and we have the right to have, you know, a normal schedule, too. I mean, they are not in control. They shouldn't be in control of the tournament. That's too bad.

GABRIELA SABATINI: Yes, I think -- I've been working a lot of things, you know. I think that there were a lot of things that needed to be reassured, you know. I think I'm getting that, you know, trying to get -- to have, you know, a good plan each time I, you know, I go out to play, you know, to really know exactly what I do with every shot that I hit. That's getting there. I mean, I'm feeling very good with yesterday, you know. Today I was a little bit tired, but, you know, I still played a pretty good match, so I'm pretty happy how things are going, you know, I'm not worried if they don't work out right now in this tournament, but I know they will at any moment.

GABRIELA SABATINI: If I complain to somebody?

GABRIELA SABATINI: Well, I am going to have to do something, I don't know what, but I don't think it is fair, so I am going to do everything I can.

GABRIELA SABATINI: Yeah.

GABRIELA SABATINI: Thanks.
