AUSTRALIAN OPENJanuary 18, 2003David NalbandianMELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA MODERATOR: Questions for David. Q. You must love playing against Xavier Malisse. DAVID NALBANDIAN: Why? Q. Because you beat him twice. DAVID NALBANDIAN: Yes, but doesn't matter. I think I play good today. If I beat him before in Wimbledon, doesn't matter. I think every match is different. I don't know, he has some arm problems or something like that. But I think I play really good. Q. Is it tough playing someone that you know is getting a bit slower as the match is going on, is getting more fatigued? DAVID NALBANDIAN: Yeah. I think when I lost the first set, I think I must be focused because I saw him, he was start with a little pain in the arm. I think if I won the second set and start good the third set, I think maybe he must retire, but you never know. I think after the first set, I play really, really good. Then Xavier didn't see many chances to do, and he retire. Q. Do you think his problems are more mental than physical? DAVID NALBANDIAN: I don't know. You have to ask him. Q. Did you realize he was injured? DAVID NALBANDIAN: I don't know. I don't know if his pain is much, if he saw it's a lot or small. I think he start feeling something. I saw him when he serve 5-4 in the first set. But you never know. I think he feeling a little bit or a lot. You have to be concentrate of that. Q. Do you think you're going to your next round match against Roger a little bit unprepared because of Malisse's condition today? Do you feel pretty happy with the way your playing, your preparation for that match? DAVID NALBANDIAN: No, I think I play good the second and third set, the last three games. I think Roger is a great player, but I know him from Juniors. From a long time ago I beat him two times. I think it's going to be a tough match, but I have a good chance. End of FastScripts…. |
