COMPAQ GRAND SLAM CUPDecember 3, 1996MaliVai WashingtonMUNICH, GERMANY Q. Did you feel there was anything wrong with him? How did he look out there on the court? He looked like he wasn't trying very hard. MALIVAI WASHINGTON: How did Richard look? Q. Yes. MALIVAI WASHINGTON: He looked like Richard to me. I don't know. I don't know how he felt. I think some of his performance had to do with the way I was hitting the ball. I thought I was hitting the ball pretty clean, you know, from the first point of the match, which is the way I wanted to start. When you hit the ball like that, sometimes your opponent can maybe not look so good. Q. How much did Wimbledon affect it? This was a Wimbledon rematch. MALIVAI WASHINGTON: If I had my choice, I'd take the Wimbledon final over this match today. I mean, that definitely entered my mind. It was nice to come here, you know, to the Compaq Grand Slam Cup and play him first round. I mean, that was especially nice. When I first saw the draw, I got to admit, I got a little excited. You know, it was a chance to get back at him a little bit for the final. You know, I'm pretty happy with the outcome. Q. How much did reaching the Wimbledon final change your life in tennis? MALIVAI WASHINGTON: Not a whole lot. Q. No? MALIVAI WASHINGTON: I mean, I'm still the same person I always was. I think a few more people know me. I get a little more fan mail; a few more weird calls when I'm at the hotel. A little more money. Other than that, no, I'm the same. End of FastScripts…. |
