Petr Korda

PETR KORDA: I didn't have a problem with just like Stefan played extremely well today, and I had a couple of chances, and I didn't make it. I was very close today and just I need to be a little bit more lucky.

PETR KORDA: I was not nervous today. Stefan started the match extremely well, and you know, like I said, I was not the lucky one. I had a lot of chances to come back and he hit a very good serves and all very good -- the first volleys. It was very difficult to play against him. Just, I was -- I was trying to do everything. I came back when I was 6-5 down; he was serving for the match, and I had a chances in the tiebreaker and on the set point I hit on top of the net, and you know, just I have only one -- I mean, I can-- was not the lucky one today. If I would be little bit more lucky, maybe if I would win the second set, could be a little bit different, but he played well today.

PETR KORDA: Especially here couple of times second serve he hit almost the ace and he was serving very deep, second serve, and especially when he was Love-30, on the second serve he didn't make any doublefault or any mistakes.

PETR KORDA: I was thinking about the match at that time, just like -- just maybe it was not my day. Maybe I didn't wake up right from my bed, I don't know.

PETR KORDA: Yeah, I played well then I told myself just keep playing like this, and let us wait 'till the tiebreaker and we will see. Just I didn't made it. But I know I came back and I was -- I needed a little bit luck today.
