Tennis Masters Series Monte Carlo, An Interview with Paul Henri Mathieu

Results from the Match between Janko Tipsarovic (23 years from Serbia) and Paul Henri Mathieu (26 years from France) : 6-2, 2-6, 6-3

(firmenpresse) - Question 1:
You said you did not expect much from this tournament because of lack of preparation. Was it the case today ?
Paul Henri Mathieu: Yes. I did not have any reference points on this surface. I only had one set practice on clay, and this is not enough.

Question 2:
But your opponent did not have much preparation either.

Paul Henri Mathieu:
Yes, but he started practicing on this surface on Monday. I only started on Wednesday. I only had half an hour on the surface. Plus I was coming back from a long trip. I was jetlagged. I had played tournaments for five weeks. He had the advantage of being able to stay at home. I only spent one day at home.

Question 3:
But it was a good test. You played a good match.

Paul Henri Mathieu:
Yes, He plays well. Clay is not his best surface. I believe if I had had more practice I would have been able to win today. But, really, I would have needed to play a couple of sets before that.

Question 4:
And you would have needed a "more giving" net for you ?

Paul Henri Mathieu:
Yes, but that is tennis.

Question 5:
Did you believe you had chances when you were coming back?

Paul Henri Mathieu:
Yes. It was just a couple of points difference in the end. Maybe if I had kept my break. At the end of the second set, I was feeling good. After four or five games, my legs started feeling heavy. Physically, it was difficult.

Question6:
How do you feel mentally?
Paul Henri Mathieu: I feel good. Worese things have happened to me before. I am top 12. Life is beautiful.
