ROLAND GARROS


May 27, 2016


Jeremy Chardy


Paris, France

S. WAWRINKA/J. Chardy

6-4, 6-3, 7-5

THE MODERATOR: Questions in French.

Q. Do you feel a very strong, powerful impact when you play against someone like Stan?
JEREMY CHARDY: Well, what's sure is that physically it's difficult, and his ball was really heavy, already to send it back it's tough because the ball is heavy. And then in the game, when I missed my first, the second, for the second one he was already there. It's very difficult to control the ball if you play it short.

I think he did a really good game. He was just much better than I was. So well done to him. I fought to the end, and then of course it's tough. He was pushing me back. I couldn't really get onto the court, and he played really long balls.

It was a really tough match for me. I didn't think he was going to be playing so well. But then it's obviously tough to be disappointed, because I think I did a good game. But he was just better.

Q. Is that where you think you were best?
JEREMY CHARDY: Yes, by far, that's what I was telling my coach in the locker room. Every time I played against him I thought he was really good. Even when I was returning the balls, he likes to play these cross shots. But there was no part of the game where I felt that he wasn't in control. I had to serve as best as I could all the way, and that was tough.

Q. You unbreak him at 5-4 at one point. You could have been 6-5. Why didn't you push him in the tiebreak?
JEREMY CHARDY: Yeah, sure. I unbreak. It could have been 6-5, and then, you know, anything can happen in a tiebreak.

Sure, I can win the set, but then if you look at the match as a whole, he was just stronger than I was through and through.

So of course it's always tough to finish. I played okay. Then of course I don't really have any regrets about this match. I think he was just better than I was.
