Press Conference

J. CHARDY/S. Wawrinka

W/O

THE MODERATOR: Of course it's been a busy day at Melbourne Park. You had a good win against Taylor Fritz and also some good effort in the doubles. Just talk to us about your experience today at Melbourne Park.

JEREMY CHARDY: Yeah, it was nice. Is always nice when you win (smiling).

I think I play really good match against Taylor this morning. I played solid from the beginning to the end, so really happy with my levels in the beginning of the tournament. And I was lucky that Stan could not play, and after, we play the doubles. And it would be difficult to play two singles and one doubles, so I take the win against Stan and the win in doubles.

Q. I will ask in English if you can respond in French. It was a busy day today.

JEREMY CHARDY: (Answer in French.)

Q. Not having to play the second match, how important is that for you physically because there is still so much tennis to be played?

JEREMY CHARDY: (Answer in French.)

JEREMY CHARDY: (Answer in French.)
