An interview with: NATHALIE DECHY
THE MODERATOR: Questions for Nathalie, please.
Q. How do you think the match went today?
NATHALIE DECHY: Well, obviously I lost. But I think the first set was a
pretty good level of tennis, and then I dropped mine in the second set,
and she raised hers. So that make the difference on the score board.
Q. Can you explain why you have a drop-off?
NATHALIE DECHY: I think it was more physical drop-off. I start to be much
more late on the ball, didn't run as fast. Against a girl like this, it
doesn't help.
Q. Talk about how well she played the tiebreaker.
NATHALIE DECHY: Yeah, I think she start playing really well when she was
down 6-5. She was with the wind, and she really start to change her serve
a little bit, start to be more flat, go for -- even on the second serve,
she went for some really fast serves. Same in the tiebreak, just went for
her shots. And it worked pretty well.
Q. Second set it seemed like she cleaned up the unforced errors.
NATHALIE DECHY: Yeah, well, she did less unforced errors, but I think I was
not the same on the second set. It makes a huge difference.
Q. After she protested the line call, you won the next two points. Did that
give you reason to think maybe she was going to be distracted and you could
continue onto victory? You won the next two points to make it 3-3 in the
first set.
NATHALIE DECHY: And?
Q. Did you have any idea that Lindsay would be distracted by that incident?
NATHALIE DECHY: No, I don't think. You can be distracted if you think
there's a mistake like at the end of the tiebreaker or something, but it
was just the beginning of the match. It was not the biggest and the most
important point of the match.
I knew -- it was more like she was starting to be frustrated than getting
something about the mistake.
Q. You said you were tired. Did the first set take that that much out of
you?
NATHALIE DECHY: No. I think it was more like the matches I played before.
Q. When you view Lindsay, do you perceive her as being fast, medium, average
or slow?
NATHALIE DECHY: Well, I think at the level she is, she cannot be slow.
That's for sure. But I think she's moving really well. She doesn't seem
like, but she's able to catch a lot of balls. She's pretty fast.

great to be here. The level of players is so high. It is great for me to
be practicing with such players and be playing against them in tournaments.
I can only benefit from this experience."----------------Richard Gasquet
