THE LIPTON CHAMPIONSHIPS


March 15, 1994


Cedric Pioline


KEY BISCAYNE, FLORIDA

Q. After the first two games he seemed to turn things around and control it from then on except for a few games. How were you not able to control the momentum

CEDRIC PIOLINE: It was close, I mean, the key points, he won it. That is why he won the match. So I think it was very close. I mean a lot of game points, a lot of deuce on his serve, on my serve and after I lost this game so that is why he took the match.

Q. Are you still feeling a lot of frustration; particularly with your forehand?

CEDRIC PIOLINE: I have no frustration. I mean, he played well. It was very tough because when I tried to play, he doesn't go back and I couldn't go to the net, so it was very difficult to make the points.

Q. Cedric, who came down and spoke to you the first half of the match?

CEDRIC PIOLINE: The supervisor?

Q. Yes.

CEDRIC PIOLINE: Yes.

Q. What did you guys talk about?

CEDRIC PIOLINE: About something.

Q. Was it over a call or something like that?

CEDRIC PIOLINE: Yeah, because the umpire came down and talk to me and he doesn't have to talk to me like he did, so I ask for the supervisor.

Q. What is your opinion about the new ranking system, the Grand Slam, the increased points for the Grand Slams?

CEDRIC PIOLINE: I think it is good, but I would prefer it last year because I think I am the only Grand Slam finalist who didn't reach the Masters, so for me, maybe it came too late. I hope for this year I will do again good results. I think it is good because when you reach the final you have to do the difference.

Q. Talking again about tonight's match, was your shoulder feeling okay?

CEDRIC PIOLINE: Yeah, I mean, I had no problems about it.

Q. What is your plan after the-- what is your schedule after the tournament?

CEDRIC PIOLINE: My schedule is to go back to France for Davis Cup.

Q. I know it. I came from Hungary. Do you know your opponent?

CEDRIC PIOLINE: No.

Q. You can sleep normally. Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid.

CEDRIC PIOLINE: Thank you.
