　　Q: Was that a case of him being really good or you being bad? Or a bit of both?

　　A: He played well and it was very difficult to play for me. Play fast and almost win all the time. Worst for me was when I had a chance to come back to the match and I didn’t play very well. He didn’t serve that well. He gave me many chances to play and I was way under pressure in the first one in the second set I had a lot of pressure. I can do better next time. I must do.

　　Q: I wanted to ask in your past few matches after you go and see your fans and that’s pretty unusual. Usually people only go up after winning a grand slam or something. So, can you talk about why you went to high-five your fans?

　　A: They were from Spain and Madrid and they were cheering for me all the time and they were close so I went there to say thank you.

　　Q: You do have very good results when playing against Cilic and Del Petro who are quiet tall. What will you change in other matches?

　　A: They play well they are young and playing well. Maybe it’s not because they are tall. To play these big matches you need more confidence. When I am there I need to bring more confidence to cross this test and I must play better next time. One time when I close the first time after that for experience it will be much easier next time. I will try to be there every week and then finally you get your goal. In Paris, in London, next year. If you want to continue to improve you should play more finals and continue next time.

　　Q: What do you think about final in China Open and do you have any instructions for Djokovic?

　　A: No on the instruction. It’s going to be a good final Djokovic with lots of experience. Cilic won and we will see lots of finals in the future.

　　Q: Can you talk about the ATP and your expectation?

　　A: My expectation is the same as here. Every week it’s the same expectation. My only goal is continue to play well. Not so much today but second round. My goal is to continue to improve and try to have a good result.

　　Q: Was there a particular reason for the slow start?

　　A: No I say before I answer the first question like this. I played worst for sure than the last 2 days and he played well. First he didn’t give me lots of options. I can lose for sure against one player. Cilic is good and has good serve. I can accept to win and I can accept to lose but mentally probably I wasn’t there. If you’re losing 6-3, 6-3 then there’s something wrong.
