THE MODERATOR: We will start with questions in English.

Q. What was it like playing Carlos out there today in front of his home fans?

SOONWOO KWON: (Through translation.) Of course I had a lot of pressure to play in front of all the Spanish spectators. I tried to focus on my own play, and I did my best.

Q. You have had a great week. You have obviously beat Felix earlier in the week. You showed a very, very close match there against the World No. 1. What do you take from this week for your career?

SOONWOO KWON: (Through translation.) Of course it was very tough but exciting week for me personally. I began to know that I'm capable of having a winning game with any kind of player in the world.

I'm going to be well-prepared to the Seoul Open next week, as well.

Q. What's it been like for Korea, for the team, playing at this level? Does it mean you have more motivation to get here again next year?

SOONWOO KWON: (Through translation.) Yes, all of my teammates, including me, we became very confident of playing through all this experience. Of course we are going to try to participate one more time next year.
