MONTE-CARLO ROLEX MASTERS


April 14, 2009


Jean-Rene Lisnard


MONTE CARLO, MONACO

J. LISNARD/C. Rochus
6-2, 6-2


THE MODERATOR: Questions.

Q. It's better to play under the flag of Monte-Carlo than the French flag?
JEAN-RENE LISNARD: Yes, since I won. But it's been a few years now.

Q. The match was completely under control?
JEAN-RENE LISNARD: He was not playing at his best level. I was trying to do my best. It was a one-way match.

Q. You feel you are adapting well to clay?
JEAN-RENE LISNARD: I start very early. I was on clay courts as soon as February.
This is an advantage compared to those who are coming back from Miami.

Q. This is home. And it is also a big tournament.
JEAN-RENE LISNARD: I love it. I have no problems of motivation. Since it's home, I really want to do well here.

Q. You passed the first round. Weren't you disappointed you had to play on such a small court? After all, you are the local player.
JEAN-RENE LISNARD: No, it is a Davis Cup court, so I am used to it. Maybe I will get to play on a bigger court tomorrow, but I am not upset.

Q. People usually think you are French. Does it bother you?
JEAN-RENE LISNARD: It is always the same question. Some even criticize me for that. I always remind them that I pay my taxes to France.
They think what they want. I don't care.
