THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.

Q. Jannik, a singles win, a place in the quarterfinals, very nearly a doubles win. Does it still go down as a perfect day with the doubles defeat as well?

JANNIK SINNER: Of course, now it's tough to talk in one way because we lost 7-6 in the third. It's 3:00 in the morning. It's not easy.

Obviously happy that we are through the quarterfinals and happy to play Monday as well. Yeah, I guess it was positive day in the other way. It's tough to lose 7-6 now at 3:00 a.m.

Q. Filippo, what was the thinking behind bringing Jannik in for the doubles?

FILIPPO VOLANDRI: I think, I mean, was a test. They played unbelievable. They were in front of one of the best couple in the world. We try to mix also the position. I think this was great.

I have a lot of players I can choose. Every couple, we are making test. This was good.

Q. Jannik, you seemed to be hitting winners for fun out there. Fabio seemed to be laughing at some of them. Your confidence seems to be sky high right now.

FILIPPO VOLANDRI: Yeah, we are very happy, even if it's 3:00 in the morning. We are really happy. We like to enjoy, enjoy the pressure, to enjoy this unbelievable stadium with this unbelievable crowd.

Yeah, it looks like we enjoy.
