Lionel Roux

LIONEL ROUX: I was a little bit disappointed after the second set and he broke me at the beginning. I come back and he broke me again and after I finished pretty well at the end of the third set, so after it is difficult to come back.

LIONEL ROUX: Yeah, I was injured at the beginning of the year for five months, but it is okay since the French Open, so, but it is better for me.

LIONEL ROUX: Yes, of course I feel pretty good because I beat two top-seeded players and this is the first time, you know, I made quarters in the ATP Tour, so of course, it is a good week. I am a little bit disappointed for today, but it is a good week for me.

LIONEL ROUX: I think Goran can play -- can play unbelievable and sometimes he can make big mistakes, so I think that is what happened in the first set, you know, I think he broke me two, three times, and after I came back and he made some mistake, he didn't serve pretty well; that is why I came back.

LIONEL ROUX: You have to choose one side, I think because it is very fast and it -- he is lefty, so it is very difficult to return. I practice one time with him and it was on supreme and I didn't make any return on the court, so I know he is a very good server.
