THE MODERATOR: We're joined by Kamil Majchrzak and Hubert Hurkacz. Hubie, first question to you. Congratulations. Poland through to the semifinals of the ATP Cup. How does that feel?

HUBERT HURKACZ: It feels great. Super proud of Kamil. He did an amazing job today, so super happy for him. He had the big win at the beginning and then I played a solid match after.

Q. Hubie, do you remember first meeting Kamil years ago and how long have you guys known each other?

HUBERT HURKACZ: Too many years (laughing).

No, actually first meeting, I don't remember, probably like nine years old, maybe 10, something like this. Actually, I never managed to win against him, so, yeah, it's tough.

Q. How cool is it, given you've known each other for so long that now obviously with your teammates as well that you're doing this for your country on such a big stage?

HUBERT HURKACZ: No, I mean, it's great that we're doing it for our country. I mean, with Kamil, with Jan, with Szymon, Kacper, I mean, we've been seeing each other like the junior tournaments in Poland in some small towns and in the bubble like there was zero degrees celsius and now we are here.

So, no, it's really great, I mean, that we all like came for that journey and then we are here in the semifinals right now, so it really means a lot to us.

Q. Kamil, the last time you were at the ATP Cup of course it wasn't a perfect ATP Cup for you. Now you're able to come here, win all three of your matches. So how does it feel to be playing so well?

KAMIL MAJCHRZAK: I'm very happy about my performance, the whole matches here, and it was kind of a throwback today to play against Argentina because two years ago I got injured after playing against Argentina.

So I wanted to do well, I wanted to do better this year and I did. It was a very difficult match for me, but I was very happy with the outcome of this match.
