Press Conference

P. KOHLSCHREIBER/M. Cecchinato

6-4, 7-5, 7-6

THE MODERATOR: Must be great to get off to a winning start at the Australian Open.

PHILIPP KOHLSCHREIBER: Yes. Winning is always great. I didn't play a match I think for the last, what is it, three, four months. I'm of course very happy.

What should I say? Was nice to be out. I've been here so many times. It's always wonderful. Last year didn't come because of all the circumstances - tough word for me (smiling).

But I'm very happy to be back and continue my journey here.
