MONTE-CARLO ROLEX MASTERSApril 12, 2011Jo-Wilfried TsongaMONTE CARLO, MONACO I. LJUBICIC/J. Tsonga THE MODERATOR: Questions in French, please. Q. You must be very disappointed because that match was not out of reach for you. JO-WILFRIED TSONGA: Yes, I am very disappointed. I had the feeling I was playing extremely well for a set and a half. In spite of that, I was not ahead in the score. Many details went wrong. There were some bad bounces, but also I missed the important points. So I'm playing tennis better during this period; however, I'm not winning, and that is frustrating. So I'm playing well: this is positive. But I lost: this is negative. I will have to turn it around. I am working a lot for that. Q. You're playing better. At 4-3 you got broken back. At 3-1 you made a couple of mistakes at the net because you were rushing. JO-WILFRIED TSONGA: I don't know if I was rushing. I call that a missed volley. Q. That's what I saw. JO-WILFRIED TSONGA: At another moment of the match I played exactly the same volley and I made the point. In that case, you're not going to say I was rushing. So it's not negligence; it's a lack of confidence. I didn't play many matches on clay yet. But now it has to work and I must start winning. Q. But if you lack confidence, isn't it worse approaching the net all the time? JO-WILFRIED TSONGA: What I'm saying to myself is that if I have to regret anything, at least I need to try everything I can. Ivan is a good player, so it's better to try everything instead of doing nothing and just letting the match slip away. Q. What is your schedule now? JO-WILFRIED TSONGA: I'm going to train next week after playing doubles here. Why not, maybe Munich. Q. Are you going to play doubles with Gaël, again? JO-WILFRIED TSONGA: If we play well, yes. Q. So it's only for winning, not for pleasure? JO-WILFRIED TSONGA: Well, it's all right to enjoy yourself, but it all depends on the results. If we are both complementary on the court and play well together, we might play more doubles. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports |
