L. MUSETTI/F. Comesana

6-2, 6-7, 7-6, 6-3

THE MODERATOR: Just tell us your thoughts on today's match.

LORENZO MUSETTI: Yeah, definitely a long day at the office with so many breaks. Out of up and down, I started pretty well the match, and I was leading the game, but he came back -- I had so many occasion to, let's say, go far in the second. I didn't take any of this, and he was really fighting hard on the tiebreak and really playing well.

Then after that probably the key was the tiebreak of the third. Really well played from my side. After the break on 1-All, I started to play with more freedom and, you know, play more my game. Really happy to be in the second week for the first time here in Wimbledon.

THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.

Q. Just looking ahead to the next match, somebody you know from experience, how would you describe his serve in comparison with all the other serves on the tour?

LORENZO MUSETTI: I mean, I played against him recently in Stuttgart. I have to say that probably Stuttgart the conditions were faster than here, so it was probably even tougher to return his serve. Pretty much I never broke him. I had break points, but he made almost always I think aces or stuff like that.

I think he has, of course, a lethal weapon on the serve, but tonight I just want to enjoy the day because it was really long. I started at 3:00 and finished at 8:30 with two breaks, and it's not easy to manage that. But, of course, I will have tomorrow to focus on the match.
