Monte Carlo, Monaco
A. RAMOS-VINOLAS/M. Cilic
6-2, 6-7, 6-2
THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.
Q. I don't know a lot about you. I was surprised, looking at your results, it looks like you did a great improvement here in Monte-Carlo. I don't know if there is a good personal reason, perhaps intimate reason.
ALBERT RAMOS-VINOLAS: I cannot explain (smiling). No, I'm joking.
I don't know. To be honest, I think that I'm playing good. I'm competing very good. But I cannot tell you exactly what's happen.
I think I played a good tournaments in South America in February on clay. Here I'm playing really good, competing all the points. I cannot really tell you what happen.
Q. Does it help to play on clay?
ALBERT RAMOS-VINOLAS: For sure, obviously. But I hope to keep on this way for a long time. If it's possible, to keep improving some things that I can improve. Why not to play like this, and to play also this way on the hard court and grass.
Q. Today, like yesterday, it was a match with ups and downs. How did you find the key today?
ALBERT RAMOS-VINOLAS: Well, today I think it was different because I was leading a set and serving for the match at 5-4. I was playing very consistent during all the time.
But I think in the 5-4, he played an amazing game on the return. Also in the tiebreak, I was leading 5-3, and I think he played four points incredible. I think I played a great tiebreak, and he played really good. I don't know if it was lucky or not during the four last points in the tiebreak.
He started also really good in the third set. But I think I keep playing. Maybe he was a little bit tired, I don't know. Then the third set, I played really good.
Q. What do you think about your next match, the semifinal?
ALBERT RAMOS-VINOLAS: I don't know against who I play yet. Obviously, into the semifinal. Anything can happen, no?
If I play Pouille, I know him. I know both really good. Lucas, it's a young player coming very strong. It will be super difficult.
If I play against Cuevas, obviously will be the same because he beat me few matches. He beat me in the final in Sao Paulo this year. I know him, how he can play.
It will be difficult match. If I play on the same way than today, for sure I will have my chances.
