An interview with:

ROGERFEDERER

THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.

Q. Could you just take us through that match? Pleased to be back on center
court? Pleased to get the win in fairlystraightforward?

ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, I was happy with the way I played. It always takes some
time to getting used tothe match conditions here on center court, you know,
but started maybe a bitslow but reacted, you know, all right.

Once I got the upperhand, things were pretty much in control. Yeah, it was
good. I served wellwhen I had to, and mixed it up. That'show I want to play.
I'm happy to bethrough without a fright.

Q. Was the heat a problem a little bit?

ROGER FEDERER: Not really. I mean, maybe what, 30 degrees? You know, it
didn't -- definitely felt warmer than the last fewdays. This and in America
and Australia we play at, you know, 40,45 degrees, you know. So it's
stillpretty mild for my liking, but, you know, the ball flies more, bounces
more, soit's more like Madrida little bit.

Obviously I played aguy who played really far behind the baseline, so the
court felt reallybig. I just have to get used tothat. It was nice conditions,
not toomuch wind. Little warm, so it was good.

Q. The dropshot seems to have become one of your weapons on clay. You tried a
couple today. Could you tell us about it?

ROGER FEDERER: They worked well. That's what I mean, mixing it up, coming
tothe net, hitting dropshots. You can'thit them against everybody, you know.
There are certain types of players that don't allow you to do it, andothers
you can do it all the time. Todaywas sort of the right time to do them, but,
you know, I'm happy I got to learnhow to use it over the years. I used tonot
be a fan of the dropshot at all. Ialways thought it was a shot you only hit
when you're panicking from thebaseline, when you're scared maybe to take on
the fight, you know.

But today I realizedthat actually you can use it to your advantage against
like players liketoday. It just makes it a little bitmore easy.

Q. Just in general, not in the tournament, how distracting can it be, allthe
media activities, all the sponsors, all that stuff you have to do outsidethe
court?

ROGER FEDERER: Well, I mean, the sponsors slow down once thetournament
starts. It's maybe the weekbefore, you know. But I think once youget used to
that, it's no problem. Imean, it's nice to be, how you say, in the limelight
and that people areinterested in you.

You'd be a fool sayingit's wrong. Of course, sometimes I haveto do a little
less media, you know. That's in the rule books. Sure,after a match like this,
how much can you really talk about, you know?

So maybe other guys don't have to dopress. Some guys only do 5 to 10minutes.
I do 45 minutes. It's not always most fun, but at the sametime it's part of
the business today, you know. Times have changed. I told myselfmany years ago
when I was coming up and about, and I was coming through theranks that I was
hopefully having a decent relationship with the media, becauseI'll see them
for the next hopefully 10, 15, 20 years, you know.

So far it's been okay, so I do stillenjoy coming to the press rooms
sometimes, because usually it's pretty full,and it's nice that people want to
hear what I say.

Q. (InFrench) This is not about today's match,but Santoro is playing his 20th
Roland Garros. What do you think about the player, Santoro? He's been playing
so long.

ROGER FEDERER: It's become a great accomplishment for me toplay against him a
great many times. He's very talented the way he touches the ball, hits the
ball. He's one of the greatest tacticians in termsof his play.

You know, he was quitelimited when he plays two-handed, but he's always trying to fumble his waythrough. I've always enjoyed
playingagainst him and watching his matches, as well. We respect each other,
I think.

Q. Now, we're talking about the other ones. What about Guillaume, young one.
He's just won a match, if you're aware of this. What do you think about this?

ROGER FEDERER: I don't know him, unfortunately. It's a good thing for him.
Now that I know him, it's going to be a greatmoment for him. (laughter.)

No, I don't know howold he is. 19? Yes. 19. Wonderful. Great. To play on the
main draw.

When you're young and to win a matchimmediately, it's something I couldn't do
when I was younger. I didn't manage to do this. Well, my draw was more
difficult againstRafter here, but it's always a good thing for the beginners,
and mainly for himhere in France.

Q. Youwere asked what you think about the heat. Now, to me, when I think
about heat, I think about your spouse. Have you said anything about the fact
thatshe wouldn't attend or she wouldn't watch you during one of your matches?
You've always said it's very important forher to be with you.

ROGER FEDERER: Well, yes, for her it's even more importantthan for me. You
know, nothing againsther, of course. She likes watching mewhen I play. She
wants to be here ateach and every single match, but if it's too warm, maybe
if she needs a bit offresh air, no problem.

If Mirka or my coach ormy physical trainer or if anybody else can be here in
my corner, I can playtennis correctly. So I don't reallywatch them very
often. Five times permatch only, so it's quite simple. Well,I prefer if she's
here. If I see she'sokay, like today, she was feeling good, so it's simpler
for me.

Q. Last time you played on the central court last year, the end was notgood.
What did you feel today when youhad to go on the court?

ROGER FEDERER: Well, I didn't even think about last year'smatch on the same
court, because I was so much concentrated. I wanted to do my best. I didn't
want to lose my first match. I wanted to start well. I wanted to get into the
match, to lookaround. Maybe you wouldn't believe me,but now that you say it,
I realize that was true.

The final was verydifficult. It was the very lastmatch. But, you know, after
what countsis how you played in Madrid, Monte-Carlo and Romend on clay surfaces,and what you look at is the matches you've won. If you've
lost, okay, no problem, because between then and now, you haveplayed
something like 60 matches, so that was okay today for me.

Q. Was it a good thing to play just after him, to watch Rafa's match, ordid
you watch anything? Or would yourather focus on your style?

ROGER FEDERER: Well, it's Stan I watched. He was fighting hard. I was more
interested compared withRafa. Well, sometimes I do other things. I had to
eat, and then to practice. So one set I watched Nadal and two or threesets
played by Stan.

So I'm really happy forStan, because he played after a number of difficulties
he had.

Q. It's the first round, okay. Whatwould you think about your play and what
you've done today that's going to beuseful in the future?

ROGER FEDERER: It's a good thing that I won this firstround. I have a few
days. Now I can focus. I can unwind for a while. I have less pressure,
because the pressure iswhen you have to manage the first round. I have a bit
of time.

I think I playedwell. I could play even better. I served well, that's true.
It's a good thing for me, because my serve isgood to start the tournament,
which is what I like. Now the rounds are going to be tougher andtougher, so I
hope I can play better and better, as well.

Q. Is it you who asked to play today rather than tomorrow to have more daysof
rest? You could have played Tuesday.

ROGERFEDERER: I asked for Sunday, but Mondayand Tuesday would have been okay.
Wednesday, as well. Well, we cango through the whole week if you want to. You
know, what counts is that -- well, in any case, you have to winseven matches.
Never mind who you'regoing to play against and the type of weather you have,
but what you have to dois end this race and win the battle.
