Press Conference

F. PASSARO/G. Dimitrov

7-5, 2-1 [Ret.]

THE MODERATOR: Congratulations on your win, the first set, winning that one. Now you're through to the second round. Could you walk us through how you're feeling.

FRANCESCO PASSARO: Yeah, I mean, I'm feeling great. This is my first win in the Grand Slam main draw. So I want to say, like, thanks and sorry to Fabio, that he gets injured. It give me the chance to play today.

Of course I want to hope get well to get some back in the court Grigor, because he's very good player. For me was, like, a great opportunity to play in this like big tournaments against big player, so I'm very happy to reach the second round.
