June 3, 2019


Kei Nishikori


Paris, France

K. NISHIKORI/B. Paire

6-2, 6-7, 6-2, 6-7, 7-5

THE MODERATOR: Questions in English.

Q. Benoit Paire said you should have win in three or four sets, but he should have win in five. Are you agree with that?
KEI NISHIKORI: I mean, yes. Yes. But, I mean, it's happen to be play five sets, but -- I mean, if I look back, yes, but I'm just happy to win today.

He almost had the match, you know, serving for the match, 5-3, and I'm just happy that way I coming back from 5-3, I think I played, start playing much better from 5-3, playing more aggressive, using my forehand.

You know, not easy after losing especially fourth set 7-6. I had match point, and I could win in four sets, but somehow I lost the set.

Yeah, mentally not easy after that tiebreak.

Q. What do you think about the match against Rafa in quarterfinals?
KEI NISHIKORI: Yeah, not gonna be easy. He's the best player on the clay. Yeah, but I try to do my best.

Q. Do you feel lucky to have win today against Benoit?
KEI NISHIKORI: Lucky?

Q. Lucky.
KEI NISHIKORI: Maybe, yes (smiling).
