April 27, 1995
MONTE CARLO, MONACO
Q. I suppose it must be very satisfying by the match you played today.
BORIS BECKER: Yes, I am. Corretja is a very good baseliner. He beat me the last time we played, and he played probably already 10 clay court tournaments this year. This is my first and I was able to play my game near to perfection.
Q. Do you remember having played as aggressively as you did today on clay before because you played very aggressive, serve and volley?
BORIS BECKER: I get the impression sometimes, you know, I had a similar question at the court. I did win a couple of matches on clay before in my career. It is not like I am playing my first time, pretty good clay court tennis. As you remember, I did pretty good at the French a few years in a row. I did pretty good at this tournament. In Rome, I was in the final. So I am able to play good tennis, but -- and at the moment I feel like I have very good timing on my serve and on my shots altogether. So I am able to play very aggressive and that is what I am doing right now.
Q. Do you need to be physically fit to play that kind of game or is it just a question of timing or --
BORIS BECKER: No, you do have to work a bit more than when you play indoors, even though it doesn't go so much into your knees when you play on on clay than when you play indoors because you are moving all the time and -- with the clay court, you have to slide a lot, so you need to have very strong legs to be able to do that
