Press Conference

H. GASTON/A. Rinderknech

4-6, 6-4, 6-3

THE MODERATOR: Questions in French.

Q. It was quite a crazy match with a lot of different things. At one point you saw that you were missing an opportunity to win here. How did you feel?

ARTHUR RINDERKNECH: I don't think that I felt that I was missing the opportunity to win. More than anything, I think that Hugo Gaston played very well. He managed to get the upper hand on many occasions. When he plays like this, he plays very well. He was on a hot streak, and he managed to do so many things. It seemed that everything -- that the ball was always in no matter what, so congrats and hats off to him.

On my side, I didn't manage the match well. That's it.

Q. What are you thinking about?

ARTHUR RINDERKNECH: The medical timeout also was a trap, and it was well played out, and I didn't manage the match well.

Q. Do you know what you're doing next week? Are you going to prep for the Davis Cup? Because we wanted to invite you for podcast.

ARTHUR RINDERKNECH: I have an important doubles with my friend, Ben, tomorrow. We haven't had the opportunity to play together, and we want to do nice things together, so we are very motivated for this tournament in doubles.

Then I should go to Stockholm next week for the last tournament of the season. But I hope that we will go very far in the draw with Ben in the doubles so that I can withdraw and walkover from Stockholm. It's a real pleasure to play with him this week, and after this, I hope to have one week to rest, to train, and to be ready, up and ready for the Davis Cup.
