WIMBLEDON

Marc Rosset

MODERATOR: Questions for Marc.

MARC ROSSET: Not very good, to be honest. I mean, it was a really, really ugly match. I won in straight sets, but I really need to increase my level of my game for the future of the tournament.

MARC ROSSET: Nothing. I was just like sleeping on the court today. I need to be awake for the next match.

MARC ROSSET: It's not that I don't like. I mean, it's not my best surface so far by the results. With my size, it's tough to run. I can't move as well as I do indoors. I don't play as well as I can play indoors. It's not that I hate grass; it's just like it's different tennis. Maybe I'm a little bit too tall to do well here. I don't know.

MARC ROSSET: Yeah, definitely they did a terrific job by doing new locker rooms, new restaurant, new everything for the players because I had the feeling the past years when you were coming in Wimbledon, you were still playing in 1950. Now with the new facilities, I think it's better for the player obviously. We have more space, we have better condition. I mean, is really great. I really love it.

MARC ROSSET: If you ask me, yes, I'm going to remember of that. I had a car accident early on, beginning of my career, I destroy a car. You know, it's kind of things that you remember, but is nothing, didn't change my life, didn't change my way to see life. Maybe change it for like two weeks, but when I lose a first round match, it's still the end of the world for me. I guess it didn't change so much.
