An interview with:
FABRICE SANTORO
Q. Pretty tight at the end there?
FABRICE SANTORO: Yes, was a good comeback from him. When I was up 5-1,
I thought match is over. But he came back strongly, and I was pretty lucky
to close the match at 5-4.
Q. When you managed to get up 5-1, do you think he kind of let down a
bit at that time?
FABRICE SANTORO: Not really, because when you are Top 10 players in the
world, you don't tank your match when you down, because there is many
matches during the year where you are down, so...I know that Carlos is
a good fighter. He won many matches when he was down in his career.
Today, he almost did it again.
Q. He credited a lot of your success today to your type of style of play,
keeping the ball in play. You're unorthodox. He said that basically you
kept everything in play today, and he had a lot of unforced errors.
FABRICE SANTORO: Yes, I didn't make many unforced errors, but I am also
pretty happy in my offensive game because I came to the net a lot and I
put pressure on his second serve, I try to come in on my first. And at
the end, the balance between points and mistakes is very good.
Q. Knocking off the defending champ, great win, does it instill some
confidence in your game early this week, obviously?
FABRICE SANTORO: I can't say that I'm happy because I won defending
champion, I just happy because I beat a great player - one of the
best in the world. And at this time of the year, after many months
with pretty big trouble with my arm, it's a great victory for the next
few months.
Q. What's actually the problem with your arm?
FABRICE SANTORO: A lot, a lot. Tendon, muscle. And this is the first
time I serve that strong since maybe March.
Q. So you're playing through pain all the time?
FABRICE SANTORO: All the time, yeah. I'm not the only one on the
tour, don't worry (smiling).
Q. The fact that you're able to play double-handed both sides obviously
helps take some of the strain off, does it?
FABRICE SANTORO: From my arm, yes, a lot. Because I am a two-handed
player, I had a chance to play the last few months. Even if I was
unable to serve hard, I was able to hit the ball as hard as possible
in forehand and backhand. But with my injury, one-hand forehand is
not possible.
Q. A lot of people say with your style of play it's unique, that
you're kind of like a magician. Do you think all players ought to
play like you?
FABRICE SANTORO: Like to play like me?
Q. Yes.
FABRICE SANTORO: That's not the question for me, huh? There are 64
players in the draw; ask them. But for me, I don't think like my game
is different. I think that playing like this is the best way for me
to win some matches on the tour. But if I was able to play like Agassi
or if I was able to serve like Roddick, I will do it for sure.
Q. You play more with your head, do you think?
FABRICE SANTORO: I need to play with my head because I don't have the
power.
