MONTE CARLO, MONACO
Q. You needed a match like that to get back into the game?
SERGI BRUGUERA: I need any kind of match; as much as I play better for me because I didn't play -- I played like six matches all the year, so what I need is play a lot of matches. It doesn't matter which match.
Q. This match, Sergi, was tougher than you were expecting or not?
SERGI BRUGUERA: No, because you always play; it's going to be tough in difficult match. I never play against him, so I don't know how to expect because I never play him. I think he is a very good player. He have a lot of power. He can move the ball very well, and it is difficult to make winners to him because he cover, very well, the court and have pretty good serve.
Q. Did you notice the improvement between this match and the match you played yesterday?
SERGI BRUGUERA: Well, I think as much as playing, I am going to feel better, for sure, if I am winning much more, so I think -- but every match is different, but I think I feel a little better today.
Q. Because yesterday after a tough first set you had to relax a little bit during the second set and you lost the second set, but today you could play all the way with the same power and the same efficiency?
SERGI BRUGUERA: Yes. Yes, because the other day was my first match, practically, since I got injured and I need this kind of feeling, you know, when you are playing, the feelings of the competition and the tight matches, and that is what happened. When I didn't felt until that day and then after I need a little bit of break, that was the second set and then the third again. Now, today, I have much more confidence on what is going to happen on the court.
Q. The key of this match was the very, very long game at the second set.
SERGI BRUGUERA: The 3-All.
Q. Yeah. How long did it take the 20 minutes?
SERGI BRUGUERA: I don't know, it was very close game and with his serve I have volley and -- two or three breakpoints more; then I have lucky and spring broke; then I broke and I think -- and also 4-3, I have 15-40 down, so it was not sure all the time. It was very close.
Q. You don't feel too tired after --
SERGI BRUGUERA: No, today, I feel very well.
Q. And tomorrow against Gaudenzi with the Italian public?
SERGI BRUGUERA: Well -- what happened? Gaudenzi is not playing that poorly. He is not going to win one point because of the public.
