THE MODERATOR: What are your thoughts about the match? Were you surprised with Coric's level? Or did you not find your level at all?

ROBERTO BAUTISTA AGUT: Well, I know him well. I know him. He can play good tennis. I knew he was going to be a tough opponent to beat.

Well, I think I played a good match. I think during the rallies I was feeling better and better. I think his level of serve made the difference in the match today. Congratulate him. Well, I hope Pablo can win and we can be alive on the tie.

THE MODERATOR: How did you live the experience again of representing Spain with the crowd in this Davis Cup environment?

ROBERTO BAUTISTA AGUT: Well, for me it's special to play Davis Cup. It's of course more special to play in Spain. The emotions you feel in this court playing Davis Cup, it's something unreal, something you dream of.

Well, it's a great experience always to play Davis Cup.

THE MODERATOR: Questions in English.

Q. Roberto, how much tougher is it to go through a defeat playing this competition, Davis Cup, than a regular event?

ROBERTO BAUTISTA AGUT: It's always not easy to lose, but when you give everything on the court and you try your best, your mind has to be in calm. That's how I feel, no?

I tried everything on the court. Sometimes you can win and sometimes you lose, no? Tennis is like this. You need to understand it in this sport.
