DAVIS CUP FIRST ROUND: USA VS SWITZERLAND


February 3, 2017


Henri Laaksonen


Birmingham, Alabama

J. ISNER/H. Laaksonen

4-6, 6-2, 6-2, 7-6

THE MODERATOR: Questions in English, please.

Q. Severin, thought on those two matches. At times the first one was close; certainly the second one was very close.
SEVERIN LUTHI: Yeah. I think we had a good start in both matches. Marco's match I think it was maybe the same level in the first set, then, yeah, I think at one stage you saw a little bit the different.

Then I was happy how Henri started and hung in there. Yeah. I would love to see a fifth set there.

Q. Henri, your thoughts on that match with this start. Isner picked it up in the second and third sets, but, again, could have been a five setter with that fourth set.
HENRI LAAKSONEN: I mean, I started really well. I was holding my serve and then I got some break points in the 4-3 game and then I break him to 6-4. I was holding my serve I think quite easily and felt comfortable on my own serves.

Yeah, I knew that I will have few chances on his serve and he's serving big. I think -- I don't know if I had break chances on every set, but I could create some break chances at least in the first set.

I don't know if I had in beginning of the second set, and then fourth set I had as well some break points. I mean, just, yeah, I didn't serve that well that he could win the second and third set a bit too easily.

Then I hung in there the fourth set.
