THE MODERATOR: Please talk us through today's match.

ADRIAN MANNARINO: Well, tight first set. I don't know what made the difference in that set, but it was very close.

Then I felt a little bit weaker physically and that made a huge difference during the game. After first set I couldn't really fight against Rafa, you know, he was playing too well for me not to be a hundred percent.

Yeah, first set was tight, just couple of points or one point and then the second and third set just went all the way for Rafa, so that's it.
