IBM/ATP TOUR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPNovember 18, 1995Thomas EnqvistFRANKFURT, GERMANY Q. Thomas, you figure you had him there in the end? THOMAS ENQVIST: Well, it was a close match, I think. Boris served very well and especially when he needed to serve well he put the first serve in, and I didn't. I think that was the big key today. Q. In the 7th game of the third set, two break balls. Can you explain what happened in your opinion? THOMAS ENQVIST: What happened? Two good serves. Q. You had more chance, I think. THOMAS ENQVIST: Yeah, he hit a good serve and I just got it back and then he hit the hard forehand, I mean, I had no chance. Q. Are you very disappointed not to reach the final? THOMAS ENQVIST: Yeah, I mean, you are always disappointed after you lose a match, especially when a match is pretty close like this. I think I played well, and he was just too good. Q. Do you think that the audience treated you well? Was it fair? THOMAS ENQVIST: Well, I didn't expect them to cheer for me, so... Q. Thomas, did it turn out that the crowd -- did the crowd make you too nervous? THOMAS ENQVIST: No. They didn't make me nervous. Like I said, I think the key was that I didn't serve that well, maybe, when I needed to do it, and Boris put a lot of pressure on me and when I have chances in his service game, he put a good first serve in and just not so much to do. Q. If you had played this match in Sweden today, would you have won? THOMAS ENQVIST: I can't answer that question. Q. The problem with the net at the time, what was it exactly you took with the umpire? THOMAS ENQVIST: Tiebreaker he hit a ball through the net. Q. Through the net? THOMAS ENQVIST: Yeah. Q. Are you sure? THOMAS ENQVIST: Yeah. Q. Where are you going to play Davis Cup? THOMAS ENQVIST: We don't know yet. We know that just the week before. Q. What is your pick for tomorrow? THOMAS ENQVIST: Well, it is very hard to say. I think everybody that lost in this tournament was such good players, I think anybody can win it. I think if Boris is going to serve well, I think he has a good chance to win, but like Michael played today, I mean, it is going to be very tough and good match. Q. What is your pick, Chang or Becker? THOMAS ENQVIST: I don't have any picks. Q. The Michael Chang of today is not the one you beat at the beginning of the week; is that true? THOMAS ENQVIST: Well, what can I say, I mean, when you play these kind of tournaments, I think it is very small things that decide who is going to win the match or not. I mean, it is hard to say. I mean, of course, he played maybe better today than he did against me, but I played very well, and I served well and I saw Pete was not 100%. It is all very hard to say. Depends a little bit too who you play too. But what I saw, I think, I mean, Michael was playing really well today. End of FastScripts… |
