THE MODERATOR: Questions in English.

Q. Congratulations on your win. I wonder, preparing for a match like this when you know it cannot influence the outcome of this week, how does that differ for you? Or does it not differ at all?

CLARA BUREL: Yeah, we know we are not playing for anything. I mean, it's different than that Wednesday, but you always want to win for your team and for your country. It's always a great moment to play for your country.

Q. This is one of the first few times you have played singles for France in this competition. How have you found the experience, as well, and how is it different to playing week in, week out on the tour?

CLARA BUREL: Yeah, it's very different. We have the whole team here for us to cheer on. It's very special.

Yeah, that's the greatest thing about this competition is to have this team behind you. You always want to do well for them and for your country.

Q. Beyond this week, what are your hopes for the French team going forward and for the future?

CLARA BUREL: Yeah, we try to stay, to be on these competitions in November next year, to win this tie in, I think it's in April. So, yeah, we try to win this one and to come back here next year stronger.
