AUSTRALIAN OPENJanuary 20, 2001Lars BurgsmullerMELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA THE MODERATOR: First question, please. Q. Very simply, you're obviously a better player than that. What happened? LARS BURGSMULLER: I have no idea what happened today. I just was not on the court. If I would have played like this the days before, I would have lost also. So I don't know. Maybe I slept in good enough. I have no reason. I don't know. Q. You struggled right from the off, didn't you? Once you'd given him the confidence to go on from the other night, he grew and grew. LARS BURGSMULLER: Yeah. It was just right from the beginning it was a bad start, and I lost my first service game. It was a tough game with a lot of deuces. But I was down a break and it's pretty tough to break him. I knew that. But then he was serving unbelievable. But I thought I can play well from the baseline against him, but even from the baseline I lost most of the points. Q. The best server you've ever played against? LARS BURGSMULLER: Sorry? Q. The best server you've ever played against, would you say? LARS BURGSMULLER: Yes. Today, it was -- he was very good. When it's windy, it's tough for a good server, but today he proved that he's one of the best servers. Q. Has anything like that happened to you before? LARS BURGSMULLER: No. Q. You don't want it to happen again? LARS BURGSMULLER: No. Actually, was a good tournament for me. I had three tough matches. I beat three good guys. Now in the main draw I beat a good German, a junior and I beat the No. 1 from Austria. So all together it was a good tournament. Q. How little did you sleep? How bad was the night? LARS BURGSMULLER: I woke up like two times. I don't know why. No reason, I don't know. Q. Nerves? Did you feel nervous at all about the occasion? It was a big crowd? LARS BURGSMULLER: Yeah, of course. Of course I never played like in front of such a big crowd, and I was a little bit nervous. But I had fun. Normally, if I would play like my normal game, it would be great to play in front of a lot of spectators. But today, I was not showing my best. End of FastScripts.... |
