00:03Flavio, on start at another great victory.
00:05If you could just give us your thoughts on the match today, please.
00:08Yes.
00:11I feel great.
00:15At least it was an incredible match for me, for my side.
00:19I think I played one of the best matches ever,
00:24especially on this surface that is always tough to play.
00:28But today I found a way to have a high level for I don't know how much I played,
00:38but for all the matches.
00:41So it was really impressive also for me, for my team.
00:46And yeah, I'm really proud and happy to reach the second quarterfinal in a row here in Wimbledon.
00:57That means a lot for me, it's always special to have a chance to play another match here.
01:05Today I played for my first time here in court number one,
01:10so the feeling with the court was incredible and I loved to play there.
01:15and the sound was amazing, amazing feeling with the ball.
01:21And yeah, now I have to recover for the next one.
01:26That will be for sure tough.
01:31Congratulations Fabio, you mentioned on court after the match that you weren't sure if you had
01:35somewhere to stay tonight, I just wanted to get some more on that, have you found a house for this
01:39evening?
01:39Yeah, we found it.
01:42Tell us a bit more about that.
01:44My grandfather helped us to find a solution for tonight, but we found a solution for all the week, I
01:54hope.
01:56An Italian family gave us a house here in Wimbledon, so it's really cool and I will say thanks to
02:07them when I see them.
02:12Great win. From the practice court to the main court, which areas of your game have you found that you
02:18focused on really well?
02:20And which areas do you think you still have a little room for improvement as the tournament progresses?
02:24I think with the whole shot I'm really happy about the serve that for me can be always better.
02:36But also today I found the solution to put him on a difficult feeling with the return.
02:49It wasn't easy to find a way to have a good return with my serve. I always change something during
02:58the match.
03:00So actually I'm also happy with the serve. But for the other shot I think nothing can improve or there
03:13is, but today I played a really good match, so nothing to say.
03:18Let's go.
03:20Fabio, great match and great season overall. In January you lost to Ferry, he was the world number 186.
03:27Since then you won your third ATP title, reached your first major final and now you're back in the Wimbledon
03:33quarterfinals.
03:33Can you just talk about the reflections on your season as a whole?
03:36I mean in Australia I was sick. Of course Arturi is an amazing player, but that match I couldn't play.
03:46So the other match that I lost, because I lost many matches in a row from there, I didn't play
03:57so good. But maybe because also for the Davis Cup a lot of pressure on me.
04:04A lot of everyone talked about the season, where I have to improve, something like that. So it wasn't easy
04:19to find the right way to play really calm and just play tennis. So at the end I wait for
04:34the season.
04:34I think for a good result that maybe change something and he did it. So in Acapulco I was really
04:43happy with my level. I found the way to hang out from that feeling. And from there I think I
04:54played a good tennis for all the week.
04:57Sometimes I'm tired, sometimes I play a lot. So now I have to find the best solution for me to
05:07play always at 100%.
05:10Still on the right.
05:12Congratulations Flavio, you did the Ronaldo celebration this time. Now that Brazil are out of the tournament, will you be
05:20supporting Portugal?
05:22I was waiting. I don't play. So I just enjoy what the guy did on the court. I love his
05:37celebration. I love him. I love Cunha's celebration. But I'm not the player on the court. So I will cheer
05:47for Portugal tonight.
05:50Because Ronaldo. But if they lose, it's not because of me.
05:58Flavio, well played. Two questions. Do you have a Premier League football team that you support? And also I think
06:05last year you booked accommodation just for the week and then you had to find new accommodation when you didn't
06:10do it. Have you got to do two weeks next year and plan to be in the whole time?
06:16I have no Premier League football team. I have no Premier League. You know, I support S-Roma and that's
06:21why I don't want to support anyone else. But of course I have many friends.
06:29Kala Fiori was playing with me and now he's playing in Arsenal. So I watch because I love football. Now
06:39I have Eduardo Boven Championship. He's playing with Botford. So I will always watch his match. But I have not
06:49real team. And the other question.
06:54Last year I had problems. This year I had problems. I hope that my dad find the right solution for
07:02the next one.
07:03I've got time for one more in English just here.
07:06Hi Flavio. Congratulations again. Good effort today. I think most people were expecting a lot of baseline rallies and you
07:15and Alex did not disappoint. Now I was frantically recording all that. I think you worked a bit harder to
07:22be fair.
07:23Because you knew it was going to be a baseline match, did you try to change things up or did
07:29you just go with the flow knowing you got the harder?
07:31I was happy with it. I love to play good rallies, long rallies. And today I found a solution to
07:39play my tennis against his tennis. And that's why I think today I won. I beat him also on strategy
07:53of the match, you know.
07:53And it wasn't easy because I never won against him before. So today I think I played an amazing level
08:03and an amazing tactic match. So I was really happy.
08:09Thank you.
08:09Thank you.
08:10Thank you.
