Press Conference

G. DIMITROV/R. Carballes Baena

6-1, 6-3 [Ret.]

THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.

Q. Could you tell us what was wrong with you today and why you had to retire?

ROBERTO CARBALLES BAENA: Well, I have been throwing up all the day. I started yesterday night at 3 a.m. I tried to warm up and tried to play, but I couldn't. It was impossible.

Q. Do you know what's wrong? Are you sick? Food poisoning?

ROBERTO CARBALLES BAENA: I don't know. The doctors say that it's stomach virus, but I don't know. I am trying to understand why this is happening, but I don't know.

Q. During your previous match were you feeling okay and it started yesterday?

ROBERTO CARBALLES BAENA: Yeah, yeah, yesterday I was good. I practiced a little bit, 45 minutes. Then I did the recovery. I went to lunch, to dinner, everything was okay.

At 3 a.m. I woke up with a pain in my stomach and feeling so bad. Then I warm up this morning. I was feeling better. But after the warmup, I started to throw up again two times. It was tough, yeah.
