Gustavo Kuerten

MODERATOR: Good afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen. Gustavo Kuerten. Questions in English, please.

GUSTAVO KUERTEN: It was okay. I think probably the toughest thing was my opponent, who is a tough player. He played well the big points, got a lot of breaks when he needed, you know, the right shot in the breakpoints. When I had a couple opportunity, he was serving well, too. I think that was my main problem today on the court. But I was feeling well, hitting the ball well. Just probably crucial points there. If I would have won a couple of them, maybe I would even play better and rise my confidence a little bit.

GUSTAVO KUERTEN: Yes, I think so. As far as I feel healthy, you know, with some chance to play well and win matches, for sure I will play back. I always enjoying playing here a couple matches. Sometimes it's not easy, you know, when you have a long clay court season. It's just right after. But I think it's very enjoyable, so I see with good chances me to play more years.
