What impression did he leave you after this match? And also, another question is what do you think about where the Chinese male players can bring certain positions in the tennis sports in the future? JO-WILFRIED TSONGA: So, yeah, what is my impression? It's -- you know, it's a young player, I know, and he's quick, really fast on his legs. And he can play well, but he need maybe more experience at this level. And, yeah, just play, you know, and this is for my impression. And I don't know about Chinese tennis, not a lot, because there is no -- not a lot of player in the top 100 or top 200, so I don't know them a lot, and I cannot say, you know, a lot of things about it. Q. Yesterday you played in the doubles, and you did a lot of things to entertain fans like soccer moves and communicated with the fans. Is it a special game, I mean, compared to anything you've played before? JO-WILFRIED TSONGA: Yeah, you know, for me single is more important than double these years, and of course sometimes it's difficult because I want to play doubles because I like it, and sometimes I play single, and then I have to play doubles just after my single. And I just want to enjoy it, because if I'm not -- if it's not entertainment for me, you know, I go crazy, because, you know, I'm tired and so I prefer, you know, to cheer with the crowd and make a good show.

The season was not so good, but I learned a lot, because this is the first year I play, you know, all along, all the other year, you know, without injuries and without stop.
