Carlos Moya

Q. Just a reaction, your assessment of tonight's match, you must be very happy to advance to the next round. Just your comments on the game.

CARLOS MOYA: I'm pretty happy to win this match. It was very tough. Mentally very tough because the weather conditions wasn't easy to play today. You know, I think I play a good game. You know, now in quarters, I have to be careful with Larsson. He's playing pretty well. But I hope I'm going to play even better and qualify for the semifinal.

CARLOS MOYA: Well, is always very difficult to play against a friend, as Corretja is, Spanish, also because of the weather, you know, maybe the match was not really good for people. But I'm telling you that I was on the court, it was not easy to play today. We did our best. Finally I won. But, you know, he had chances to win. But today I did it. You know, I'm very happy to be a winner.

CARLOS MOYA: Well, I'm playing much better than I play first round. I'm much more confident right now, you know. I do my best when the conditions are against me, you know. When he has breakpoints or whatever happens that is against me, I play much better, you know. Is because I'm very confident right now. You know, I hope I'm going to play even better. I said after I beat Chang that I was going to get a lot of confidence, I was going to play better. And it's been like that until now. You know, I hope I'm going to play even better next round.
