Hamburg, 15. May 2005
Press Conference with RICHARD GASQUET
Federer against Gasquet 6:3, 7:5, 7:6 (4)
Q: You had good chances in the second set. When they went away, did you
think that that was your best chance gone away perhaps?
A: Even in the third set I had a lot of chances at 5:4, but I didn’t
return good in all the match. It was a key of the match, I think. He won
all his serves easily.
Q: Why was that, were you a little tired maybe?
A: Yes, I was a little bit tired, but it was a final, it was different. I
had a little bit of pressure, because it was my first final against Federer
in Masters Series. But I think I did a good match. I didn’t return good,
but I was happy to be in the final. I see the future now.
Q: You see the future now?
A: To be in a final is incredible for me, I have time for Roland Garros. I’m
so happy to be in the final in Hamburg in the Master Series. It’s
incredible, I won seven matches and I lost to Federer. It’s very good.
Q: It’s very difficult to beat him twice.
A: Yes, in the final even more. It was my first final, for him I don’t
know. I’m happy to do a good match. I have a lot of experience for my
next tournament now.
Q: In terms of confidence, how is it going into the French now?
A: Yes, I have a lot of confidence for Roland Garros, for sure, because
I played some great matches here. Today was a good experience for me, to
play the final against Federer in three sets. So I’m ready for Roland
Garros and I have a lot of confidence.
Q: Were you nervous?
A: Yes, I was nervous at the beginning of the match, but afterwards it
was ok.
Q: What do you think of the reception you received of the crowd when you
walked up at the end of the match?
A: Great, it was very pleasing to be greeted like that.
Q: Did Roger say anything to you after the match?
A: He said, good tournament and good luck for your next tournament.
Q: That was your first final in a big tournament. You earned a lot of price
money. What are you doing with the money, do you have a special dream like a
car?
A: I don’t have a driving licence yet. I’m 19 years old, I just play for
the pleasure, the money is not important for me.
