An interview with: FLORENT SERRA
 
 THE MODERATOR: 
Questions in French.

 Q.  Yesterday you were talking about having fun on the court, but apparently it was not the case today.
 FLORENT SERRA: 
It was tough.  I felt stuck from the beginning.  He was playing very deep, very high.  I had to step back.
 Against him, it should be the contrary:  I should be the one playing deep, and it didn't happen today.  In fact, it started becoming a bit better when I started playing slower and higher and taking my time.  Finally, I was then able to come back into the match.
 In fact, I didn't serve well enough.  And when I tried to go up to the net, I was always late.  So it was difficult in all parts of the game.

 Q.  But still in some games there was very little difference between you.
 FLORENT SERRA: 
Yes.  On his serve I felt there were certain things I could do.  If I had served better, also I could have done better.  I should have served better.  But today I felt a bit tired.

 Q.  We noticed when you were more aggressive on your return on second serves, he was sometimes making errors.
 FLORENT SERRA: 
That was my tactic.  When I was able to be more aggressive and to step into the court, it was a lot better for me.  In the beginning, I was playing too fast and I was making too many mistakes on my serve.
 Overall, I was much too inconsistent.

 Q.  What next?
 FLORENT SERRA: 
I'll rest until the end of the week.  I'm going to start again on Tuesday or Wednesday.  I'm going to Switzerland for some treatment.  I will have my new apartment there.  It is not far from Geneva, a place called Gland.  After that I'll go to Tunis.  It's a good challenger.  I will be with Gasquet and Clément.  We all want those 24, 25 points.
 We will be seeded.  It is interesting.
