Press Conference

DODIG-KRAJICEK/Granollers-Zeballos

4-6, 7-6, 7-5

Q. Looks like it's an upcoming partnership with Dodig, and you are in final straightaway. How do you feel?

AUSTIN KRAJICEK: Yeah, feel fantastic. We started after Monte-Carlo, had some good weeks of practice and some tough losses actually the first couple of tournaments. I kept working really hard.

I think we started playing very good in Lyon, and yeah, we're just kind of getting better every day. Hopefully we can stay on that path.

You know, we both, our game styles match very well and we get along great, so it's been a great partnership.

Q. We know doubles are always full of turbulences, up and down, up and down. You managed somehow to return the match in your direction.

AUSTIN KRAJICEK: Today, you're talking specifically? No, I mean, Horacio and Marcel are great players, really, really good team. So they played amazing in the first set and a half, and into the second-set tiebreak I thought we played pretty well.

But we just tried to stay focused on our side and take care of our serve. I think we played well at the big moments towards the end of the match. It was great.

Q. You have tough road to the final. You beat Ram and Salisbury and now you beat fourth seeds. How do you feel after that?

AUSTIN KRAJICEK: Yeah, I feel fantastic. It was a tough match obviously the other day against Rajeev, who's one of my good buddies, as well, from the U.S. We obviously saved some match points, and it was a battle.

So today, same thing, two great players. And I thought we played a good match in the third set, played well on the big moments, for sure.
