Up 6-1, 5-Love, got back into it fractionally. At that stage did you get a bit concerned, but closed it off pretty well again? HYEON CHUNG: Yeah, it was a really tough match against Pablo. I have a lot of chance to finish, like, 6-1, 5-Love up. I have few match points but start windy and he playing good. So I'm just happy to win 6-3. Q. How much of a factor was the wind out there at the end of the match? HYEON CHUNG: First few games it was okay, but last few games start windy, and, like, start hard. Not easy to play with the wind, but I'm just trying to focus all the time. Q. How do you explain the success you have had so far this year? Is something feeling different in your game? Is it just experience? Just things coming together for you? HYEON CHUNG: I don't know. I'm just start new team this year with Godwin Neville, and he made me trying to enjoy on the court.

I'm just trying to enjoy on the court. Q. Since your win in Milan last year, how is the pressure for you? Are you feeling it or are you just taking the strides you're making with your game and that's not really affecting you? HYEON CHUNG: I'm playing good this year. So far nothing pressure. So I'm just really happy to play good every tournament, so I'm just -- I hope playing good so far. Q. Did you watch or even go to any of the Olympics?
