MADRID, SPAIN
S. WAWRINKA/G. Dimitrov
3‑6, 6‑4, 6‑1
THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.
Q. Congratulations?
STANISLAS WAWRINKA: Thank you.
Q. You said yesterday that you were feeling great; today you looked great. Can I just ask was it a mentally tough match today? Seemed a bit tense out there at some points.
STANISLAS WAWRINKA: Yeah, for me it was a mentally moment really because I start to be maybe a little bit of tired with the match I played. I'm not used to that. It's a good challenge for sure.
But when you start a little bit tired mentally it's not easy to focus on every point. It's not that simple. Today I was really trying to focus on myself and not on him.
I was trying to change my game a little bit. At the beginning he was making the game and doing everything, and I tried to push him a little bit more to play more hard and to take the game.
That's when I start to serve a little bit better. In the end, I'm really happy to won that match.
Q. What was your complaint in the middle of the third set, or second? I cannot...
STANISLAS WAWRINKA: It was a little bit with the crowd. There were during the point still clapping. But it was more about myself. To get something else I need to get angry at someone, and I didn't want to break my racquet so I choose the umpire.
Q. When you were 54‑up in the second set you asked for some medical help. Was it with your neck or shoulder.
STANISLAS WAWRINKA: It's both. I had some little problem since few days. But, you know, I was sweating a lot and was still cold.
Before the last two games I think I get a little bit cold on my neck. That's why I just asked the physio to come. I didn't want it take the treatment time, the three minutes. I know it's not going to change in three minutes, so I just ask some pills.
Q. Have you been playing or practicing with him since you guys are with Magnus now?
STANISLAS WAWRINKA: No. We didn't have time. You know, I just talked with Magnus. It's the first week in tournament with him, so this week we didn't have time to practice together.
I came late with the Portugal Open. For sure we're going to practice the rest of the year.
