Goran Ivanisevic

GORAN IVANISEVIC: I think it was okay the way I played. The last two months it was not so good. Finally today I started to serve like I usually serve because I was serving and volleying first and second serve. I was not scared to come in on my serve. That is why I served very good when I needed. The court is very fast and it is tough to play from the back, so I hit a lot of mis-hits. But with Petr, it is not easy to play. He hits the ball very flat. He doesn't give you any rhythm and the ball is going so fast. So, I mean, I am happy the way I played.

GORAN IVANISEVIC: With him, he is not a guy like some other players on the Tour, that he needs five months practice. You know, he is very talented and he doesn't need very much to get into the rhythm. He hits the ball very easy, everything looks very easy, so he doesn't need a lot of practice to play good, so he probably didn't practice too much, but he still hit the ball very good. I have knew he was going to be tough. He is always a very tough opponent for me.
