TMS - MADRIDOctober 14, 2002Francisco ClavetMADRID, SPAIN MODERATOR: Questions in Spanish. Q. What do you think of this match? This is a match to forget, isn't it? FRANCISCO CLAVET: It was a match to forget. I had some expectations about this tournament and the Federation had given me a wildcard. I was really looking forward to play. Unfortunately, I've been very nervous and tense all during the match. I haven't been able to play well. Q. Was it your last match? FRANCISCO CLAVET: We'll see what the future holds. After a long career, this has been a match to really say good-bye to tennis. But I don't intend to play the same as before, not a hundred percent. I might play other tournaments if I get a wildcard, but with a different perspective. I don't want to call it the last match. Q. Will you do a good-bye circuit next year? FRANCISCO CLAVET: I want to retire progressively, not all of a sudden. I might play in tournaments where I get a wildcard, and if I feel like playing. Q. Would you have preferred to play a good match before you retire? FRANCISCO CLAVET: No. I knew from the beginning I wasn't going to play at the same level as the last year, but in a progressive way. Today's result doesn't change my idea of the way I'm going to retire. I'm no longer going to be fully dedicated to tennis a hundred percent, playing every single day. This doesn't mean that I will stop all of a sudden. Q. What about this year? FRANCISCO CLAVET: Well, this year I think is over. That's all for this year. End of FastScripts…. |
