Press Conference

J. LEHECKA/B. Zapata Miralles

6-3, 6-2, 6-3

THE MODERATOR: Congratulations, Jiri. Through to the next round. Straight-sets victory. What was the key to the match for you today, and what did you do best on court?

JIRI LEHECKA: Yeah, thank you.

Today was tough match for me because was after tournament. I won the tournament, so six match in one week almost, so it wasn't easy for me to get used to the conditions. It was different. In Adelaide we played under the roof all the time, so here with the sun, with the wind today against a guy who is very unpredictable wasn't easy.

But in the key moments in every set I managed to break him and break his serve. Then I just controlled the end of all sets, so that was the key for me, yeah.
