Nicolas Jarry

Press Conference

A. ZVEREV/N. Jarry

6-4, 7-5

THE MODERATOR: Questions for Nico.

Q. Sascha served so well. Usually we're seeing you the one dominating with the serve. How difficult was it to deal with his serve?

NICOLAS JARRY: Yeah, I think his percentage of first serve was pretty high. I don't know how much it was, but I felt that I didn't have enough chances.

His service, apart from being very good, is very different from all the other serves. He takes the ball very high, so the bounce is very special. It took me time to get the trajectory of it.

At the end I felt I had it more. I think I got one 30-All and it got a (indiscernible) point. I needed a little bit more time to get used to it. I think that's where it all went through.

Once the point started, I was feeling comfortable, stable. I was feeling good. I wanted to keep hanging there. I knew that if I could stay a little bit longer, I would have some chances that hopefully I could make it. But it was a bit late.

Q. Which is your feeling now? Do you feel satisfaction for what you've done in the tournament or maybe a little un-satisfaction for how the final went?

NICOLAS JARRY: My feeling right now is I want to go to Roland Garros and play better because I know I can play better and do good there. I'm very motivated. That's how I am right now.
