ATP TOUR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

November 16, 1994

Alberto Berasategui

ALBERTO BERASATEGUI: Well, I think so, but I have to see what the doctor says and how the treatment goes and I hope I will be able to play the next match against Bruguera.

ALBERTO BERASATEGUI: Yeah, I have one day off so I think that will help me.

ALBERTO BERASATEGUI: Well, I wasn't 100% able to play today, but I think I work hard enough to make it here and the ATP didn't want to hold my ranking if I wasn't going to play today, so I think there is a lot of benefits for me if I stay in this ranking, so that is why I went to the court.

ALBERTO BERASATEGUI: Yeah No. 7 or No. 8, depends, so I went to the court and I mean, like I telling you, I wasn't 100% able to play.

ALBERTO BERASATEGUI: Yeah, I saw the doctor and he told me that I could play, but he wasn't sure that I was going to be 100% either I mean, they did everything that was possible on the hand, but...

ALBERTO BERASATEGUI: No, they didn't want to do that because that could hurt after -- not today, but for maybe a month or whatever, so they didn't know if it was going to be bad for me.

ALBERTO BERASATEGUI: I think a lot because I cannot hit my forehand the hardest I used to and if I cannot hit my best shot, the game is over for me, and it hurts for my serve also. Usually I don't hit very hard my serve, but with this, I can only hit one good first serves.

ALBERTO BERASATEGUI: I don't think so. Maybe Michael would have beaten me, probably so, but I don't think it would have been 6-1, 6-Love.
