THE MODERATOR: Can you talk us through the feelings of the match.

YOSHIHITO NISHIOKA: So this is the third time against Novak, and last two times was pretty easy match, maybe he feel. Last two times, yeah, I couldn't do anything, and I couldn't figure out what I can do, and but this time just trying to, like, what I can do more, and first meeting on clay court so it should be different on hard court, played the last time.

So it was a little bit different mentality last two times than today, a little bit more I can feel very comfortable on the center court and play against him, like no nerves, like the match.

So I think beginning I was playing much, much better, and I had a couple chance to break. But I feel like he's showing like he's the No. 1 player in the world, like when I have chance or like when I got a deuce, and then almost every point he played, like, making great serve or, like, playing good points.

So it was very difficult to break against him. I feel I play well. I had a chance to more, I can find more chance than last two times, so I think I improved.

For sure score was pretty easy, but I feel the game was more like some close game, I had it. So if I had some games maybe should be change a little bit, but yeah, I think I was playing good tennis today on Philippe Chatrier and I feel improved a little bit than last time.
