Does it feel different, being one of the hottest players this summer? Probably Andy Roddick and yourself are the hot players of the summer. Do you feel different?

GUILLERMO CORIA: Yeah. Q. Today was a very tough match. How do you feel you were able to win it? GUILLERMO CORIA: Yeah, it was really hard, but thank God I got to break the serve. Yeah, I just won. Q. What happened last week? You retired in your match. GUILLERMO CORIA: Yeah, I was tired and I didn't want to get hurt. Because I came from a really long tournament, I just wanted to get some rest. Q. You are a clay court specialist. How do you keep the momentum going now on the hard court surface? GUILLERMO CORIA: I play in the same way, but I need to be a little more aggressive maybe. But it's basically the same. Yeah, I don't really change my techniques or anything. I just try harder. Q. Do you feel that is a strategy that will work for you on hard courts in the future, that you'll be able to win on hard courts? GUILLERMO CORIA: Yeah, I feel confident on this surface, on hard court.
