Carlos Moya

THE MODERATOR: Questions in English, please.

CARLOS MOYA: No, I don't think so.

CARLOS MOYA: No, I think he played a good game. The only point that maybe I didn't play that well was 15-Love. I played a dropshot, and didn't go in. But the rest of the game, I think he played well. He returns good. So is normal that he can break my serve sometimes. So he didn't do it before, but in that moment he could do it. But I kept focused and, you know, kept fighting. And I think mentally, again, was a tough test.

CARLOS MOYA: If I am going?

CARLOS MOYA: After here? Yeah, is an exhibition.

CARLOS MOYA: Well, little bit. But after that, we have clay court tournaments. So there is not much time for vacation. So you cannot relax and forget about tennis. But, you know, I will take it to have fun and have a good day there.

CARLOS MOYA: Than...?

CARLOS MOYA: Yeah, I think so. I think I came here more motivated and knowing what to do. The conditions are very bad, but, still, I am fighting a lot. And I try to be focused. I try to be motivated. You know, I think from difference from baseline, I can play much better than I was doing few years ago here on grass. So that makes a big difference.

CARLOS MOYA: Play soccer (laughing). No, but when I am serving, I feel very comfortable 'cause I see that the other guys have trouble to return my serve. So I can hit a lot of aces and a lot of free points. So that's good.

CARLOS MOYA: No (smiling).

CARLOS MOYA: Not really. I mean, I just won two matches, so I cannot think about winning the tournament at all - not yet.

CARLOS MOYA: Yeah, is one of the few tournaments of the year that I have no pressure at all. And I try to play my game, try to have fun, and try to improve. I have not many chances to do that in any tournament.

CARLOS MOYA: Yeah. Well, I'm winning, so... (laughing). Yeah, I'm having fun. I'm doing things that I don't used to do on court. Try to play different, in a different way than I used to do. So, so far it's working out very well, so I'm happy.

CARLOS MOYA: I'm serving and volley every -- almost every point. Also, the other guy's coming to the net very often, so I'm working on my passing, working on my serve and volley, on my volley. So that's much different than playing on clay or hard court.
