Martin Landaluce a quitté Roland-Garros ce samedi après un combat colossal au 3e tour contre Juan Manuel Cerundolo. L’Espagnol s’est incliné 6-4, 6-7(7), 7-6(4), 6-7(4), 7-6(8) après 5h58 sur le court 7, tout près d’un premier huitième de finale en Grand Chelem.

En conférence de presse, Landaluce a pourtant surtout voulu retenir ce que ce Roland-Garros lui a appris. Le jeune Espagnol a insisté sur son physique, expliquant qu’il pouvait jouer “six heures presque avec le même niveau” et qu’il se sentait prêt pour ce type de tournoi. Même s’il a identifié des moments à mieux gérer, notamment lorsqu’il était break devant ou lorsqu’il aurait pu éviter des matches aussi serrés, il a estimé avoir démontré qu’il pouvait être “très stable” et “très solide” sur plusieurs matches.

Landaluce a également évoqué Rafael Nadal, avec qui il a déjà échangé par le passé, tout en espérant qu’il ait regardé certains de ses matches.

01:00And I think that's the most important thing I learned this week and many, many things about my game, about
01:07my improvement, about the players who can do really well here.
01:11And yeah, but that is the most important one.
01:15Can I also ask you, I mean, I know you can play that long in the ideal world, you're not
01:22going five sets every match.
01:24Are there things that you think about where maybe you had opportunities and things you wish you did a little
01:31differently?
01:33I mean, everybody feels like they don't want to miss a shot.
01:36But in terms of being bold, taking the initiative, anything like that, that you think maybe you could have saved
01:45yourself from getting into such tight moments in these first two matches?
01:49Of course, many things, many things in these matches.
01:54I did some mistakes, normal mistakes, and the first match I had a lot of opportunities to make it on
02:01three sets, four sets.
02:03In the fifth set, it could have gone 6-1.
02:05So, I know what I have to improve on those moments.
02:08The second day, I started the first two sets really bad, not with the energy I wanted.
02:15And today, I had some sets where I was break up.
02:20I mean, yeah, break up.
02:22And I could have done things different.
02:26But I think, above all, my intention was the correct one.
02:31I played my game.
02:33I did good shots, good serves, good returns.
02:36I was moving really well.
02:37So, the things I can improve, there are many.
02:40So, this is very positive.
02:42But I think I demonstrate myself that I can be very stable, very solid through all the match and the
02:53matches.
02:53So, I think that's more important than other things.
02:58Did you have any contact with Rafa during this week?
03:02Jodar?
03:03No.
03:04Nadal?
03:05Nadal.
03:05No, not on this tournament.
03:07In some, he sends me a message.
03:11We talk.
03:12There were some, like in Jeddah, he was there personal and we talked some.
03:17But not on this one.
03:18I think maybe he texts me something, maybe not this week, but on the tournaments I do well.
03:25And I hope he's watching some games, some matches.
03:28It will be perfect for me.
03:30And try to learn as much as possible from him.
03:34And then my last question.
03:35Do you have much experience on grass?
03:38I mean, two seasons.
03:40The first one, junior, I did pretty well.
03:42I won a lot of matches.
03:44I won two tournaments or two or three tournaments and I did semis on Wimbledon.
03:50So, I think I can play really good.
03:52And last year, every tournament I played, I was playing better and better.
03:56I won one match on the first one, two match on the second one, three match on Nottingham.
04:02And Wimbledon I did pretty well.
04:04And I think my physicality is much better right now.
04:07So, I think it's going to be a pretty good season.
04:10I really like playing on grass.
04:13So, good things can happen there.
04:15You feel like your game works on grass?
04:17Yes, for sure.
04:18I mean, I think my game works on every surface.
04:21I don't want to be cocky.
04:22I think I'm improving a lot.
04:23And if you improve, if you work every day to be better on each surface and your game improves,
04:31you can be good in all areas.
04:33I have nothing to not improve.
04:37I can improve on everything.
04:38So, I have huge potential, I think.
04:41And grass, I will do good.
04:43If not this year, I think, yes.
04:44But in the next years.
04:47Thank you very much.
04:48You're welcome.
04:48You're welcome.
