Paradorn Srichaphan Good Quotations

I feel that I played an all-around good match today. I held my serve really well today. I was able to hit some excellent passing shots and that kept Jeff at the baseline, which helped swing the match in my favor.

Even though the score was quite easy, it was a tough match. He is a good player and I had never met him before. I am happy about the way I played. I went for more shots than usual.

It's tough to play James. His game is really on, especially at this moment, ... I had a chance to serve at 5-4 just to win the second set. But he played great in that game. He played a good tiebreak. He deserved it. He played better today.

It was not the best way to start the tournament but the good part is that I ended on the winning side.

It's not the best way to start a tournament, but the good thing is that I've come through. I always start my year here, but striking rhythm in the year's first match is always tough after a two-month break.

It was exactly the same as in Bangkok -- 7-5 in the third, losing my serve at 5-all. I was down a break in the second set and came out with nothing to lose, just trying to put the ball in the court and play good tennis.

He really mixes up the game not like any other player. A normal player will play the same way the whole match, but Roger, he's really good with mixing up the ball, with the spin, with the slice and the serve. Even when I had chances, he was always controlling the point. So it is really difficult to play against him.
