Sergi Bruguera

SERGI BRUGUERA: No, I think I am not playing well since few time I am playing my worst tennis last couple of months. I think here, for me, it is very difficult if you are -- if I am not playing well and feeling very well. It is difficult that I win any match.

SERGI BRUGUERA: Well, he is not God. He cannot make me a God.

SERGI BRUGUERA: Let us see. We will talk.

SERGI BRUGUERA: Yes.

SERGI BRUGUERA: I think in one week it is not many things you can adjust to the game. I think after one week, you have enough to play well on hard court. It doesn't mean -- I already was playing well because I have been playing for seven years on this Tour.

SERGI BRUGUERA: Yeah, I like much more better. Much more better indoor.

SERGI BRUGUERA: Because it is much faster. You have to think so much, and it is not windy and you always -- very well, the ball, so I don't know, I like it much more. Here it is difficult between here and indoor, and here, I don't know what to do.

SERGI BRUGUERA: No!

SERGI BRUGUERA: Yeah, since I get injured, and I was always like going like this. I have pain in my knee, and then was going out; coming back and was losing matches and I have to make like play Stuttgart; then go to Montreal; then go to Cincinnati, so it was very hard for my mind and for my physical -- it takes my physical -- so many flights make my physical condition so bad. Since I get injured I didn't make it too well after the French. I saw -- I went very good shape; I just want to past the year as fast as possible and think about next year.

SERGI BRUGUERA: Yeah, I think I am going to go to Australia.

SERGI BRUGUERA: It was excellent. I had a very great time. He showed me and teach me a lot of things that I know that he told me, but it is difficult for me to do it because for one week it is difficult to make the changes. You need time to adjust your game to do the things he say, but I think he is a great experience for me. I think I learned a lot and he is going to help me for sure for the future on this surface.

SERGI BRUGUERA: I don't know, many things about my serve, I am serving much better, I don't know, to be more aggressive, you have to be more aggressive on these courts; think much faster -- maybe think what is going to happen next, because on clay you have time to recover. Here - no.

SERGI BRUGUERA: I know. He doesn't try to change my game. He just try to teach me things that -- I didn't play bad because I tried to change my game. I played bad because I have been playing very bad since last two months. I think, at least, I was with more -- more happiness to go to the court because he was there. Before I was going, oh, I don't want to practice. With him, I had great week this week. I think I learned a lot and I was much happy about going on court and to play.

SERGI BRUGUERA: No, because he doesn't need the money. He just do it because he likes to do it and I am so happy that he said whatever he likes is not enough, but I think it not expensive at all. He do it very well. He was always teaching me a lot and on the court and he was always ready and I think I have very great time with him.

SERGI BRUGUERA: If he wants to help me, whenever he wants, for sure.
