U.S. OPEN


August 28, 1995


Wayne Ferreira


NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK

Q. After having some success in this tournament in the past; kind of maybe being a dark horse to advance pretty far, this must be kind of tough on you. What happened today?

WAYNE FERREIRA: Only thing I can say, I played badly. That is about it.

Q. Was there anything that he took away from you that you normally do or was it unforced --

WAYNE FERREIRA: No. He really didn't do anything, really.

Q. Where were you having the most problems?

WAYNE FERREIRA: Everywhere. Everything.

Q. What do you mean specifically?

WAYNE FERREIRA: I didn't do anything well today. Nothing was good.

Q. Is there any reason for that?

WAYNE FERREIRA: Not really, no. No real excuse for that at all, no. Been playing; I have been practicing good; playing a lot; came in pretty confident; just couldn't do it. That is all.

Q. Where did you project yourself advancing?

WAYNE FERREIRA: Further than that.

Q. Realistically?

WAYNE FERREIRA: In the quarters. I was looking forward to playing Agassi in the quarters, maybe.

Q. Windy out there?

WAYNE FERREIRA: I wish I had an excuse. I am afraid I don't. Don't have an excuse for anything.

Q. Did he play so well?

WAYNE FERREIRA: No, I mean, I just played all right. He didn't really have to play too well, I don't think. I am not sure. I have never played him before, so I don't know if he played well or not. He really didn't need to.

Q. Wayne, pretty bad end to a pretty bad hard-court season?

WAYNE FERREIRA: Yeah, wasn't really good. Didn't have any good tournaments on the hard court season. It is disappointing.

Q. Where did it go wrong today?

WAYNE FERREIRA: Right from walking on the court, I guess. I didn't start off well. Didn't finish well. Didn't do anything really well.

Q. And yet if you had pulled out that second set tiebreaker do you feel --

WAYNE FERREIRA: I think it would have been a lot different story. I would have maybe been more into it more; more pumped up, I guess, and maybe make it tougher for him. But the second was probably the key.

Q. How disappointing is it after such a good first half of the year?

WAYNE FERREIRA: Well, it's disappointing. Everyone goes through bad patches. I just have to get over it. It has been -- the last four weeks have been really tough.

Q. Where did you go from here?

WAYNE FERREIRA: I go to play Bordeaux and off two weeks I think from there. This one was a little bit short. It should be all right. Get out; practice; win a couple of matches there.
