Press Conference

H. HURKACZ/E. Gerasimov

6-2, 7-6, 6-7, 6-3

THE MODERATOR: First of all, just your thoughts on the match today. I know you're keen to talk about that great volley that you hit in your match.

HUBERT HURKACZ: Yeah, I think that was like my fourth-best diving volley of all time. It's good (smiling). It's pretty good.

No, definitely was a good volley in the crucial moment. So I'm happy with this one, that I made it.

THE MODERATOR: How tricky are those opening matches at Grand Slams?

HUBERT HURKACZ: No, it's very tricky. All the players are great players here. It's not like someone is ranked a bit lower -- I mean, obviously being ranked a bit higher you're favorite to win and you have maybe a little bit more experience.

But, no, definitely everyone wants to win here, wants to make an upset, and wants to compete as hard as he can and she can.
