Sjeng Schalken

THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.

SJENG SCHALKEN: I saw him play, and he was having a big first and second serve. So he's a good grass court player. And I'll be ready. I have to play again 100 percent and it's going to be a completely different match than today. Because, yeah, today it was lots of, yeah, I can return lots of shots. And against him, I have to be really pleased if I get my -- yeah, my racquet behind the ball and try to take every -- it's gonna be more a real grass court match, the next one.

SJENG SCHALKEN: He has a lot of energy, like all the young Americans. And he reminds me as a typical hard court player. I think he took some time after college. That's maybe why he's little bit later. But I have to be ready, and I was impressed by his game. But, well, he has to play again the same like he did today, so otherwise he's gonna get a hard time.

SJENG SCHALKEN: I didn't see that much because I was preparing for my own match. But what I saw, he's coming in all the time so -- well, it depends. If he doesn't serve that good, then he's gonna feel my returns. But if he serves like he did today, then he has a lot of pressure.
