R. SCHUETTLER/D. Nalbandian
6-3, 5-7, 6-1, 6-0
Q. After winning the second set, can you explain why things
just went so badly in the third and fourth set?
DAVID NALBANDIAN: I think I was a little tired from the match
from the other day.
I don't know, I think I started playing really bad in the two
sets. Rainer didn't play good in the last game so, from the
second set.
So I was thinking I have to take the chances in the beginning
from the third set, but I didn't play really good there. And,
well, he played really good after that.
Q. Did you feel tired?
DAVID NALBANDIAN: Yes. I just say I feel tired.
Q. How quick is he compared with other players about the court?
DAVID NALBANDIAN: Feel the court is quickly?
Q. How quick is he compared with other players, Schuettler?
DAVID NALBANDIAN: Yeah, of course. I think is very fast. Very,
very fast.
Q. Does he drive you crazy? He drove Blake crazy. He gets everything.
Is that the problem?
DAVID NALBANDIAN: Maybe.
Q. Are you surprised that he is in the semifinals in a Grand Slam?
DAVID NALBANDIAN: He's a good player, so he reach - I don't know if
the (inaudible), the other guys, but he's (inaudible) in the world.
He's a good player.
Q. How would you sum up your ten days here?
DAVID NALBANDIAN: I enjoy it. Not today, but I enjoy the tennis.
Q. Do you feel like it was an opportunity missed today?
DAVID NALBANDIAN: Always you have a chance. I don't think this one
is gonna be my last chance. I think the match from today I didn't
play really good, but this sport maybe next week I play against him
and you have the other match other day.
So I think you always have another day, another match, and you can win.
Q. Do you think there's an explanation why so many people about 30,
30 years old, are at a high level in this tournament?
DAVID NALBANDIAN: Yeah.
Q. The explanation is why?
DAVID NALBANDIAN: I don't know.
Q. No explanation?
DAVID NALBANDIAN: (Shrugging his shoulders).
Q. What are you going to do this year in terms of playing on grass
before Wimbledon?
DAVID NALBANDIAN: I'm not sure yet.
Q. Will you play a tournament on grass, or will you not, do you think?
DAVID NALBANDIAN: I have to think about that.
Q. Do you think you prefer the grass courts or the Rebound Ace courts
of Australia?
DAVID NALBANDIAN: I think I like both. This court, it's very nice,
is not too fast. I think the grass, it's more faster. But I like both.
Q. It's been a good last 12 months for you, hasn't it? I mean, looking
back to Wimbledon, what are your memories looking back? You got to
the quarterfinal here; you made the final there. Has the year gone
much better than you thought it would?
DAVID NALBANDIAN: Yeah, of course. I'm 21 years old. So you never
think before I started playing tennis, "Well, I want to be Top 10
when I was 20, 21 years old." So it's very, very important for me.
Q. You went back to your ciudad, your home, it's not little, but
a small place. I think you told us at the US Open that they had a
statue of you there, or was it a plaque?
DAVID NALBANDIAN: A racquet.
Q. Pardon me?
DAVID NALBANDIAN: A racquet.
Q. In marble or steel?
DAVID NALBANDIAN: No, I don't know.
Q. But it's there?
DAVID NALBANDIAN: I don't make it, the racquet.
Q. It's there forever?
DAVID NALBANDIAN: Yeah.
