US OPENSeptember 4, 2005Davide SanguinettiNEW YORK CITY THE MODERATOR: Questions. Q. Sort of a boring match. DAVIDE SANGUINETTI: Boring (smiling)? My point of view, wasn't that boring. Q. What was it like out there? DAVIDE SANGUINETTI: It was great. I mean, I felted like all the crowd was with me, except for the red corner. But I enjoy. I enjoy to play with him. I think we play a really good match both. We were running everywhere. Q. You've been on the tour for a dozen years. DAVIDE SANGUINETTI: Sounds so long (smiling). Q. Where does this match sit as far as excitement? DAVIDE SANGUINETTI: Well, it's a good match. I don't know. I mean, I always tell like the semifinals in Davis Cup, it was my best match, best memory, to win here against the United States, against Todd Martin. But I guess this one is pretty good also. Q. What kept you going out there when your body feels like shutting down? DAVIDE SANGUINETTI: Well, I thought to myself, "This is the last set. If I lose, I go home. I want to keep playing, a couple more match, if I can, but at least one more match." That what's kept me going. Q. How does a nice Italian land up at UCLA for school? DAVIDE SANGUINETTI: Before UCLA, I went to Palmer Academy in Tampa. From Palmer Academy, they told me, "Is not bad if you go to UCLA." I said okay. I enter only that school. They pick me right away. Q. What does it mean to get this far, good Grand Slam result for you? DAVIDE SANGUINETTI: It's a great feeling. I mean, not that many college guys, they make it on the tour. Also that is a great feeling, especially I was playing No. 6 and 4 in UCLA. Q. For you now, in your career now, what does it mean to get this far? DAVIDE SANGUINETTI: It means a lot. It means that I can still play in a good level. It means that I can still enjoy myself on the court. It's a lot of things. I want to show to my daughter that daddy can really play, is still playing. It's not bad. Q. Never a moment you'll forget? DAVIDE SANGUINETTI: Every time I hug my daughter I never forget. Not just because I won, but even if I'm losing, I will never forget. Q. During that match you had a lot of interaction not only with the crowd but with Paradorn, too. Is that something you do often? DAVIDE SANGUINETTI: Not really. Sometime it came out like that. Sometime it doesn't. This today, it was like I had fun, so I was laughing with Paradorn also. Q. You slowed the pace down. That was strategic? DAVIDE SANGUINETTI: Yes, it was strategically. If you hit the ball, he likes to hit the ball. If you give no pace, he can miss. I guess what he did. Then the end of the second set and third set, he wasn't missing anything, so I had to change something. I went a little bit more to the net, I was a little more aggressive. I was changing. I guess was the key of the match. End of FastScripts…. |
