I am a sucker for those old traditional places, and Rome is as good as it gets, particularly when you throw in Italian food.
I was struggling in the beginning, obviously. I was a little disappointed about the start. I was looking for my rhythm and he keeps coming at you and he didn't really allow me to get the rhythm either. But to turn it around in the end, and not playing my best, is always a good feeling.
I was struggling in the beginning, ... The start of the match was crucial, and I couldn't get on top of him there. Still, in the end, to turn it around and not play my best is always a good feeling.
He is good enough to beat me on a day when I am not on, ... I expect a tough match.
I was the guy making all the errors and he was not. He was playing a few good shots. I had a few sloppy points here and there. He made me doubt.
Usually early on I'm looking for my rhythm. Today it was there straight away. It's a good sign, a good feeling.
Both times I had to serve well to get the upper hand. I thought I should be aggressive, take my chances, put the pressure on him. He's a good counter-puncher.
This is how it will be in every match at the Open. I'm ready for the pressure, ... It's a good feeling that I have. The players, I know them all, I've beaten them all.
I never really felt very good throughout the match. I hope that's going to come along in the next match.
I really feel I've got my confidence back. My footwork is back, the eye is back -- watching the ball, reading the game. Definitely I'm feeling really good right now.
