Press Conference

A. ZVEREV/T.M. Etcheverry

6-4, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4

THE MODERATOR: Bad luck, Tomas. A lot of positives and a great experience, even for your first match on Chatrier. Can you just sum up the match in your own words?

TOMAS MARTIN ETCHEVERRY: Yes, of course. These two weeks changed my life. Today was an incredible experience for me to play in the Philippe-Chatrier stadium.

Alexander played incredible tennis today, but I had my chances in the third set and fourth set. It's all positive for me.

Today I go and speak with my team, what happened in the match. But, of course, it was tough, but I played good tennis.

THE MODERATOR: Questions in English.

Q. I know it's not much time after the match, but maybe you can sum up how much of the result were related to that it's your first time and all the experience and how much to your opponent and what he did good and what you were not ready for, for example?

TOMAS MARTIN ETCHEVERRY: Alexander is a top-10 player. He already been in this stadium in two semifinals in the last two years in a row.

Of course, playing in Philippe-Chatrier, I think that I start the match very tight, you know. Then in the second set and third set I start to play my tennis that I play in all the week. That's what happened.
