MONTE-CARLO ROLEX MASTERS


April 16, 2014


Michael Llorda


MONTE CARLO, MONACO

L. ROSOL/M. Llodra
6‑4, 6‑4


THE MODERATOR:  Questions in French, please.

Q.  Of course Rosol played a very good match today, but what was lacking in your game?
MICHAEL LLODRA:  Today the conditions were different.  They were not favorable for me.  We played at 10:30.  It was cold, very windy.  The court was a lot slower.
He's a very powerful player from the baseline.  He hits harder than the average player.  That was his advantage.
For example, I couldn't really play dropshots, and I had to be extremely good with my serve and volley.  I believe I didn't serve well enough.  There were a few things that were missing.

Q.  After the Davis Cup, have you now recovered and are you full of energy now?
MICHAEL LLODRA:  It was tough.  The first three days after the tie, we experienced very strong emotions.  We had this beautiful party.  I felt really good.  It was good for me because I was able to see my friends.
I prepared well.  I can see it is paying off today and it will keep paying off into the next weeks.

Q.  Talking about this, what is your schedule now?
MICHAEL LLODRA:  I will spend two weeks working on my physical conditioning so that I will be able to play Madrid, the quallies, and I hope I'm going to make it to the main draw; Bordeaux, my club, a challenger; the French Open; then grass.
I will take 15 days to work on my physical fitness.
