Carlos Moya

THE MODERATOR: Questions for Carlos.

CARLOS MOYA: Well, maybe win it (smiling). The rest I think I did really well. The other matches I played here, luck was on my side. Today maybe if I was a little bit lucky, I could have won the first set and then everything would have changed for sure. But I had many chances in that set and I didn't take them. So when the match is that close, you don't take advantage of your chances, you lose. So that's what happened today.

CARLOS MOYA: Well, a little bit. As I said, I had many chances and I didn't make any of them. Was a pity because I was feeling that I was controlling the match pretty well in that point. But I took risk and didn't make it, but I wouldn't change anything. I would play the same way as I did. And after that, he played even better than he was doing in the first set. There was just one game that I didn't play that well, and he broke my serve. That was it.

CARLOS MOYA: Well, it was much higher than the match that I see him the last couple of weeks. I also played the best match since I am here in the States, and I lost. So I think the match was good. Was so many good rallies and good points. I think he's playing really well. If he can play this level next couple of weeks, he's gonna have a chance to win the tournaments.

CARLOS MOYA: I'll try (smiling). I'll do my best. I think today I played really well. And, as I said, in some points, luck was not on my side or I played not that well. But I happy the way I played. So I think if I keep playing this level, I also have chance to win - I don't know if tournaments, but to get really far.
