WIMBLEDON, ENGLAND
THE MODERATOR: First question for Guillermo, please.
Q. Was it an expected defeat?
GUILLERMO CORIA: Well, I knew it could happen since I only prepared for three days. This is because after Roland Garros I relaxed and I've been in Argentina, so I cannot complain. I have to be relaxed. However, I am angry for having lost in the first round.
Q. In spite of this loss, it has been a good year for you overall.
GUILLERMO CORIA: Yeah, I'm happy. There's still another Grand Slam to come, so I don't want to get mad about it.
Q. There were two bad calls where you argued with the umpire. Did this make you lose the match?
GUILLERMO CORIA: No, it's not an excuse, especially because there were other bad calls for the other player.
Q. Olivier was very strong in that match.
GUILLERMO CORIA: Yeah, I had chances to win the second set, but he played too good.
Q. And now?
GUILLERMO CORIA: Now I'm going to go to Argentina to train hard for the next tournaments to come.
End of FastScripts….
