ATP TOUR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

November 19, 1993

Michael Stich

MICHAEL STICH: No, I think today compared to the last two matches, I think he rely tried to concentrate and he tried to play a good match as the last match for the year, and he didn't play as good as he can play, but I think I played really well, so I think the outcome of the match was okay.

MICHAEL STICH: He doesn't have to say anything. He was the best player for three years, most consistent player out there. Also he has a right to have a lapse of interest, maybe, or concentration, and, unfortunately, it was this week, probably.

MICHAEL STICH: To the ball boy?

MICHAEL STICH: It was probably the last thing he was trying to do to win a point -- no. I think, you know, that is like I am saying, if you can put it in there and just make a bit of a show and people like it a lot of people stayed here for a long, long time, and I think they saw a good match at the end of the first and the whole second set, and just to give them something that they really enjoy, they can have some fun with.

MICHAEL STICH: You never know. If he is going to serve 25 aces, it is going to be tough, but last time I beat him in Stockholm and I know I can win against him and if I keep on playing like I did the last three matches, I know I have a good chance to win.

MICHAEL STICH: We will find out tomorrow. But so far it was very good. It was very enjoyable. I had a lot of fun out there and they supported me really well. I hope they do tomorrow again and I don't have a doubt about it.
