THE MODERATOR: Questions in English.
Q. Benoit Paire said you should have win in three or four sets, but he should have win in five. Are you agree with that?
KEI NISHIKORI: I mean, yes. Yes. But, I mean, it's happen to be play five sets, but -- I mean, if I look back, yes, but I'm just happy to win today.
He almost had the match, you know, serving for the match, 5-3, and I'm just happy that way I coming back from 5-3, I think I played, start playing much better from 5-3, playing more aggressive, using my forehand.
You know, not easy after losing especially fourth set 7-6. I had match point, and I could win in four sets, but somehow I lost the set.
Yeah, mentally not easy after that tiebreak.
