The 21-year-old Russian who captured his second ATP title of the season at the Estoril Open last week played in the Principality for the first time, while Costa plays here for the 10th time. The Spaniard's best result here was a final After the win, the reigning Roland Garros champion was on hand for the on-court presentation of a 3,5 meter high birthday cake to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Monte-Carlo Country Club. "I had a lot of respect for my opponent, knowing that he won a tournament last week. But at the same time I knew that I was the favorite. I played an OK match, even though the windy conditions could have been better," said the Spaniard after advancing to round two. When asked about his current form and his chances as Roland Garros approaches, the Spaniard replied: "I'm not feeling any pressure. I know I'm playing well and I have five more tournaments to play. For the moment I'm feeling very confident." On Wednesday Costa will meet Spanish teen sensation Rafael Nadal, who won his career-second match on the ATP circuit by defeating Karol Kucera 6-1, 6-2. The 16-year-old qualifier made his ATP-level debut at his home event in Mallorca last year and defeated Ramon Delgado before falling to Olivier Rochus. Moya, a fellow Mallorcan, has taken a special interest in the teenager. "When I am in Mallorca, I practice with him. Whenever he has something to ask, I try to give him my advice. That's all." When asked about Nadal's potential, Moya replied: "I think he's very good, and you never know what can happen because he's still very young. But he has a lot of potential. I think in two years maximum he's going to be Top 10 player." ----- Costa將遭遇Nadal >_____< 兩個都加油呀~~~~ 另外Feli現在正在打...可是似乎不樂觀 殺來殺去都是自己人.... -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.csie.ntu.edu.tw) ◆ From: 218.162.52.50
