THE MODERATOR: We will start with questions in English.

I'd like to ask you about the match today. You played against a very tough player. Roberto is a former top-10 player. How did you feel today on court?

HONG SEONG CHAN: (Through translation.) I knew that he's highly experienced and very high ranked in the world. It gave me a lot of pressure to play in front of all the Spanish spectators.

I was very nervous and also very surprised that he played a lot better than I expected. I saw him on YouTube and a lot of the videos to analyze. Anyway, I will do my best.

THE MODERATOR: After these three ties that you played here in Valencia, how is your overview about your whole stay here, the whole matches that you played? How can you rate your level of tennis?

HONG SEONG CHAN: (Through translation.) Of course I didn't have any win. That's a bit disappointing. But of course this is a great opportunity to play against higher-ranked players in the world.

Also, I think if I improve, I am capable of having a winning game. Of course there is a physical limitation and skill, but I think this has helped me. This is going to help me grow a lot.
