ATP TOUR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

November 19, 1994

Sergi Bruguera

SERGI BRUGUERA: Well, I think if you play well, it is a good feeling.

SERGI BRUGUERA: Sorry?

SERGI BRUGUERA: Well, I think I lost four times in the semis this year in indoors in big tournaments, but it was very close, but when you are in semis in indoors you always play with one of the best players in the world, with a lot of confidence, and the other one win a lot of matches to be there, and it means that he is playing also his best tennis. So it is very difficult, every time much tougher when you pass rounds and rounds and -- well, I think Boris played a great match today and he served very, very close moments. He played really well. He served well and that is why he is Boris. Normally he plays very well in the close moments.

SERGI BRUGUERA: I don't know because normally I am used to playing a lot from baseline, and then when I am feeling that I am playing well, if you play shorter balls, I don't feel like I am playing a lot and -- but for the kind of serve and volleys, I don't know, I think a few times in the past I played good matches too, but I think playing good match with Boris is much difficult than playing with another player well too.

SERGI BRUGUERA: Well, I think I know that was no race all the match and I was serving well and when I was 15-40 I know it was like matchpoint for me and then he served very well, both points, and then when I have breakpoint, second serve, I make very good return at the feet, so I thought it was maybe finished and then he put one good half volley and then I was waiting and I saw he was moving to down the line and then I hit a good crosscourt and then, you know, he made like this, quick (moving from one side to the other), make good volley then two aces and then I -- then I think I lose little bit the faith in me and he start -- he played two winners return from 5-4 and then he broke me.

SERGI BRUGUERA: Well, if I would start with a break then I have breakpoint in the first game, could be another story, but he play 1-0 and then he played again good game and then with 2-Love, he was, and coming from three breakpoints he was with a lot of confidence and I couldn't take out of my mind the 4-All and the three breakpoints.

SERGI BRUGUERA: Well, I don't get tired (audience laughter)

SERGI BRUGUERA: My what?

SERGI BRUGUERA: No. No. No. I am talking seriously. "I don't get tired." That is much fun.
