THE MODERATOR: Could you summarize your experience as a captain, how did it go today for you?

CAPTAIN ZHENG: Was tough match, yeah. You can see we play like the seven hours for the three matches.

But I want to say thanks for every player. Everyone on the court is fighting for every point. Today we have just little bit bad luck. So close.

Yeah, Italia is strong team. We're looking for next time (smiling).

THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.

Q. Captain, obviously not the result you wanted today, but could you summarize the atmosphere, playing in front of a full stadium, your team representing China here in Shenzhen?

CAPTAIN ZHENG: You can see they have the many Chinese fans is coming to support us. Also we have more power for fans for support.

Of course, we really looking for this match. We practice together like the one week. Yeah, I just - how you say - little bit tired (smiling).

Q. What makes Errani and Paolini such a difficult doubles team to play against?

GUO HANYU: Yeah, we all know that they're great team in the world. We also play against them few times. It's always tough to play against them. Every time we can learn something from the match.

I'm happy that I have chance to play them again here with this situation. Anyway, it's just a good experience for us. Just the result is not what we want. I think next time we can do much better than this.
