COMPAQ GRAND SLAM CUP

December 7, 1993

Wayne Ferreira

WAYNE FERREIRA: He battled quite a lot on his serve and on the return. I tried to take advantage of that and keep a good game and just keep in there and make him play a lot of balls because he was missing a lot. I didn't really want to go for it too much, just make him play, and I think it worked out pretty well.

WAYNE FERREIRA: Well, I think a lot of it has to do with the confidence. He played some games where he served three aces; then other games three aces; then he served three doubles. I think it is just -- his mental side, he is a little bit worried about how he is playing, and he is not doing the things that he used to do. I mean, he is hitting the ball well at certain times, but then other times he goes off pretty badly.

WAYNE FERREIRA: I think it was pretty vulnerable, especially on the second serve return he missed a lot. I don't know if he actually made that many at all. And you know, he was going for a lot on his forehand and he was missing a lot there to. Both sides he wasn't hitting the ball as well as he usually does.

WAYNE FERREIRA: Had a pretty mediocre year and the last four months I lost first round in all four. I saw I wasn't feeling too good; then I had taken three weeks off and prepared really well for this tournament so it is a good boost for me to put in good work and to come and play a good match like I did today.
