ATP TOUR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

November 16, 1993

Stefan Edberg

STEFAN EDBERG: Not a lot. I think Sergi played a few good points. I missed maybe one or two shots. That sometimes is enough to lose your serve, and it was the only bad part of the match. But apart from that, everything else was fine.

STEFAN EDBERG: No, I think in the second set there was good tennis. He came out with some fantastic passing shots. I felt that I was moving very well up at the net. I made a lot of goods points; he made a lot of good points. I played my volleys as good as I normally can.

STEFAN EDBERG: It is not that slow. It is sort of medium. I think it is a very good court where you can stay back if you want to, but I think it is still a little bit of an advantage if you can come into the net. It gives you a little bit more of an advantage, I feel.

STEFAN EDBERG: It is probably -- it is hard to compare, carpet is a carpet. Hardcourt is something else. It is medium. I think it has a very good pace. I don't think an indoor court should be any quicker than it is here.

STEFAN EDBERG: Pretty much the same, I would say. I think it is a nice court to play on. I really do. I am not sure whether it is slower than last year or not.

STEFAN EDBERG: Yeah. It is really hard to judge. It is not quicker, that is the good thing.

STEFAN EDBERG: Well, if you look on paper on current form and obviously my group is tougher. I think everybody can agree on that. But I don't care. I got two tough matches to play, and I feel if I played the same way as I did today, I got a good chance against both of them.

STEFAN EDBERG: It is pretty of the same. There is not a big difference between Paris and here. I think in Paris the court there is good too and the court is good here too.

STEFAN EDBERG: I don't think I did anything wrong in Paris at all. I did -- I did the right things. He just served a little bit too big. He just cracked his first serves whenever he needed one, he hit one. So I don't think I'd do much different. I just need to hit one or two more balls back, that will make the difference.

STEFAN EDBERG: Did you think so?

STEFAN EDBERG: Yeah, I think -- I wanted to win this one. I believed that it is always great if you can get a good start, win your first match and this was a match that I had to win. So I felt good when I made some good points and I think to win here, you got to get excited. You got to get into it and do what you can.

STEFAN EDBERG: I am playing pretty well at the moment. The last couple of weeks has been really good. I am pretty happy with my current form. I am probably playing as well as I have done at any time of this year.

STEFAN EDBERG: No, I think when you play Bruguera, he is -- you have to mix it up a little bit because if he starts reading your game, he can pass it very, very well, and I tried to mix it up and to make him not quite sure what I am doing out there and hopefully I get two, three points if I do that.
