THE MODERATOR: Could you just start by talking a bit about that match and also what it means for you guys to have qualified for Malaga.

BOTIC VAN de ZANDSCHULP: Yeah, about the match, yeah, I think we both served pretty well. Played some aggressive service games.

Yeah, I was glad I broke him once in the first. Then he broke me back in the second set, and from there on we both served really well and ended up in a tiebreak. Yeah, I played a little bit better in the tiebreak.

Qualifying for Malaga, I think when we came here, yeah, we knew we had a chance, but to end No. 1 in the group I think not a lot of people would have expected that.

Yeah, we always saw a chance to move forward in the group. Not as No. 1 but as No. 2. Yeah, I think it's a group surprise we ended No. 1.
