David Prinosil

DAVID PRINOSIL: I didn't know him before, so it is very difficult if you play a person who you don't know in a Grand Slam. He was playing very well from the beginning. I didn't play so well from the beginning, but serving pretty well. I couldn't make a break. And I lost -- I make too many doublefaults; that is why I lost the first two sets.

DAVID PRINOSIL: In the third set, I was -- fourth set I was 4-1 down, and then I played good game to break his serve again, and then I start playing pretty well. And in the fifth set, I got some chance. I didn't get it; that is why I lose.

DAVID PRINOSIL: I mean, he is very aggressive player, so he is going -- I mean, he was going after my second serve. He was going to the net and he was very aggressive. First serve he played serve and volley. He has good backhand, but it is -- I don't know, a little bit shaky forehand. He is not moving so well from the baseline, so if he has to work on it and he will be, for sure, a good player; especially on hardcourts on the fast surfaces.

DAVID PRINOSIL: I didn't know that.

DAVID PRINOSIL: No. Nobody told me before.

DAVID PRINOSIL: Yeah, I asked some players from Germany. They told me -- Alexander Mronz told me he played doubles against him and he just told me he is serving pretty well; good backhand and played good volleys, but the other thing is, I mean, you come to the court and first time you see what he is playing.

DAVID PRINOSIL: Yeah, it was very much. Sometimes a little bit too much.

DAVID PRINOSIL: Not so much, but I mean, if you make a doublefault and everybody screaming and there -- I think that is not fair.

DAVID PRINOSIL: This is not a football match. This is not a football match. You can scream every time in a football match.

DAVID PRINOSIL: Because we have to concentrate more. I think because in the football match, there are about 100,000 people. So I mean, on Center Court maybe it is the same. I played doubles. It is the same, everybody is moving, but that is okay. You can concentrate on the Center Court -- is something else, but this is a small court. So it is a little bit different. I mean, if you have to concentrate on your tennis and everybody is screaming, but it is okay. Can do it.

DAVID PRINOSIL: Yeah, sometimes, but I think we got some rules that the people can move between the points and everything, but sometimes, you know, the player, they are so concentrate, they need it. They need it to concentrate and not everybody is moving over there -- I don't know.
