Srichaphan sees the positives
by Samantha Lane
Sunday, January 25, 2004
Thailand's Paradorn Srichaphan has bowed out of the Australian Open after
being beaten by reigning men's champion Andre Agassi, but says he is far
from disappointed about his straight-sets defeat.
The fourth-round duel was the third time Asia's leading player had
competed on Rod Laver Arena in his most successful year at Melbourne Park,
following second-round appearances in 2000 and 2003.
It was the pair's second meeting after Srichaphan staged an upset victory
over the 34-year-old multiple Grand Slam winner at Wimbledon last year.
"Well, no I'm not disappointed," the 24 year-old said of his 7-6 6-3 6-4
defeat, "it was a great match. He's playing really well."
Srichaphan rolled his ankle during the third set and said he found the
long rallies with Agassi too demanding. He said he felt rushed by the supremely
experienced American after squandering five set points in the opening set.
"I think I didn't take my time at all at love-40 because we'd been playing
a long point….I didn't take my time. I saw him ready and I just, you know,
[had to] go and get ready and play the point. He did it well."
"If I did take my time a little bit, it would be a little different
because we were playing a long point before. And we were both breathing so hard.
So I didn't take my time at all at love-40."
Having become the first Asian-born player to rank in the top ten last year,
Srichaphan feels he needs to work on his approach to the net.
"I feel like my game has almost everything. Just, you know, if I can come in to
the net more to finish the point at the net it would be helping my match a lot.
I think I'm staying on the baseline too much - maybe not too much because it
is my game," he said.
"I have to be confident to hit the ball to the weakness of my opponent, which
is backhand or forehand, then try to come in and finish the point at the net."
Srichaphan will enjoy at least four days off in his hometown, Bangkok, before
playing Davis Cup against Pakistan. He will then travel to Rotterdam, Europe,
India and Miami.
