Press Conference

C. MOUTET/S. Caruso

3-6, 7-6, 6-3

THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.

Q. I just was wondering how you feel about how you played today and especially how you fought really hard in the second set staving off all those breakpoints?

CORENTIN MOUTET: I played amazing today. It was amazing match, I think. Both players, so I'm really happy. I'm lucky to be here in the main draw because I got the wildcard, so they trust me to play this tournament.

It's nice from them, so thank you to them.

Q. Was it a little extra pressure getting a wildcard and playing at home, or do you like that kind of pressure?

CORENTIN MOUTET: Yeah, as I said, I'm really lucky that they gave me the wildcard here. Without this, I had to play the quallies. So it's always good.

You know, they give you a chance to play directly the main draw. It's always nice, because it's a big tournament, it's a 1000, I didn't play many of them. I think it's my second. So, yeah, it's a good thing.

Q. Why do you think you won this afternoon? Why do you think you were the better player out there on court?

CORENTIN MOUTET: Sorry?

Q. Why do you think you won your match today? Why were you the better player out on court today against Caruso?

CORENTIN MOUTET: I don't think I was the better player. I think it was two players, it was a close match. I tried my best. He probably tried his best. There is one winner at the end. I lost many matches this year like this. This time I'm the lucky one.

Q. I know you released music recently. What has been the reaction like from the public in general?

CORENTIN MOUTET: It was amazing. That's why I stopped the social media, because I was receiving a million of messages every day. So, you know, I couldn't handle it. It was amazing, amazing, what can I say, answer from them.

So yeah, it was nice.
