ATP TOUR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

November 17, 1992

Goran Ivanisevic

GORAN IVANISEVIC: I am happy the way I play. I was a little bit nervous because it is my first ATP Finals. It is different to play. There are only eight players. Every match counts because it is important. But I think I served great. Michael had only one chance, and I hit an ace, but I mean, all the match I was controlling the game. I mean, it was -- in the tiebreak, every time I come to the tiebreak, he is lucky -- I had more luck; I won a tiebreak. Second set, I was -- I was making pressure on his serve; I was much better. He didn't have any chance in that. I broke him twice.

GORAN IVANISEVIC: He was trying to return strange. First he was standing like some woman is serving, I mean -- but I mean, then I was serving to his body, and then he went a little bit back. Then I was serving a banana to him, and then he went in again and he went back in; I mean, it is tough. He was trying. I mean, it is good to try, but if I served like that I mean, he can stay wherever he wants.

GORAN IVANISEVIC: I don't know, maybe. I mean, it is -- sometimes it is strange. I don't understand this, it is difficult. I mean, it is strange. I think it is strange. I think a lot of top guys are complaining about it. And I think -- I have to study this a little bit better, then I can tell you.

GORAN IVANISEVIC: Yeah, I think it should be more points Grand Slam tournaments because some ATP tournaments you have a lot of points, so you can get like almost the same points like you play final of Grand Slams. I think that is not fair.

GORAN IVANISEVIC: Everywhere I play there is a lot of Croatian people and also here. So it is nice to have them here, so it is nice to play. But they are not so loud as the ones in Australia.

GORAN IVANISEVIC: Some lady was talking German. I don't know what she said. She was talking for 20 seconds, and then I hit an ace. Maybe she said hit the ace.
