NEXT GEN ATP FINALS


November 8, 2017


Gianluigi Quinzi


Fiera Milano, Italy

D. SHAPOVALOV/G. Quinzi

4-1, 4-1, 3-4, 4-3

THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.

Q. How has this experience been for you overall?
GIANLUIGI QUINZI: It was unbelievable experience for me, because I'm playing with the top guys my age and a little bit younger. Yesterday I play unbelievable match with Andrey. I know him since a couple of years.

So I feel that I'm in this level, but of course important points and sometimes physically is not enough, because I can play good level some sets, but full games and, like, today, like two sets, like first two sets was tough. I mean, I'm a little bit tired and cramping, so I'm not -- physically and mentally I'm a little bit down.

Q. How do you want to use this opportunity for your career? How do you want to use this opportunity to play against these guys?
GIANLUIGI QUINZI: How what? No, it's a good experience, for sure, because since some years I don't play with these guys. For me, after the injured, after two months of injured, I say to my coach I want to compete with these guys.

Of course, first I should pass the Italian quallies, but after, when I pass the Italian quallies, I was confident that I was doing good, so I went to the match and stay confident. And after, of course, it's tough, because everybody play good.

But I think in a couple of years maybe I can be in these levels. I'm confident.

Q. We could see you playing out there, and you can match them, like you said, for a set. What is it you need to do to make sure that you can stay with these guys for the whole match? Is it mental or physical or both?
GIANLUIGI QUINZI: Mentally, physically, you have to play some more level, on this level, for sure. They play all the year this level. Me, I'm playing challengers, and it's a big difference, for sure.

These guys are top 50, so they play for sure all the time Masters Series 1000 level. It's so much big difference.
