00:00Qu'est-ce que vous avez vu votre expérience en Montréal?
00:05Oui, c'était une expérience. J'ai joué quatre matchs, cinq matchs en manuel,
00:09donc il y a beaucoup de choses à prendre de cette semaine et à la prochaine,
00:15parce que la tour continue et la tour continue, oui.
00:21Qu'est-ce qu'il y a des questions, Raphaël ?
00:26Raphaël, je veux dire, c'est plus ce que vous n'avez pas pu faire aujourd'hui
00:31ou c'est plus ce que vous avez réussi à faire aujourd'hui,
00:35c'est plus ce que vous avez réussi à faire aujourd'hui ?
00:38Je ne jouais pas mon niveau de niveau de tennis aujourd'hui,
00:43mais il a joué très bien, donc je crois que c'est que il a joué,
00:47surtout les points importants de la match, c'est mieux que moi,
00:51et c'est une des raisons de pourquoi il a joué la match aujourd'hui.
00:58Hi, there.
00:59Juste, how difficult was it for you going deep in this tournament
01:03on the heels of going so far in Washington 2 ?
01:06Were you feeling the fatigue coming into today's match ?
01:10No, it wasn't about that.
01:12I was feeling good.
01:14Yeah, I was, you know, trying to play my game.
01:18during the whole match, it didn't go my way today.
01:22So, yeah, try to, you know, not make the same mistakes in the next time,
01:30and that's this match will help me to develop, you know.
01:34I think the losses also, you know, help the players to develop.
01:43Juste also, maybe early in the match, maybe took you,
01:46I think you faced six break points on your first two service games.
01:51Were you struggling to start nerves, anything at all,
01:54or didn't you point your finger on something early on
01:57that wasn't working in particular ?
01:59No, he was, he was playing good, he was returning well in the start of the,
02:05of the match, and, and, yeah.
02:08And, yeah, it was a bit difficult for me today to find the, the rhythm,
02:12but, yeah, it's part of the game, and I saved those breaks, break points in,
02:19very well with good points and with a good level of tennis,
02:23and, yeah, then we, we went to the tie break, and that's, that's what, what happened.
02:30So, so, yeah, you know, I was feeling better when the match went on.
02:40The crowd in Montreal discovered you this week.
02:44What will you remember of the, the love the Montreal crowd gave you this week,
02:48and your experience overall in, here in the city?
02:51Yeah, it was a good experience playing for the first time in Montreal.
02:55Yeah, I liked, I really liked the, the crowd and the nice session matches,
02:59and they were nice for the players and for the spectators.
03:02I think it's a good environment of, of tennis overall.
03:07Um, so, yeah, I hope I can come here again in, in two years,
03:13because it's, um, a nice tournament.
03:18Uh, Rafa, I was wondering, what are your objectives until the end of the calendar?
03:22Do you hope to qualify for the, the ADP finals at the end?
03:25Do you hope to, uh, uh, do some damage in the Grand Slam in the United States?
03:30What, what do you expect from the last few months of the year?
03:32No, my, my, my, objective is, um, to get ready for the next match in, in Cincinnati.
03:40Any more? Okay, last one there.
03:44Yeah, Nicholas, yeah.
03:48Just a quick one on the match.
03:49Um, what makes his serve so difficult to return?
03:52Is it the angle, the kick, is it something?
03:57Well, I mean, he, yeah, he served well, uh, today, especially on the important points.
04:02So, yeah, I try, you know, to, to return as, um, yeah, as good as possible, but today didn't go
04:11my way.
04:12So, um, so yeah, credit, credit to him that in this surface, you know, that, that is, um, a thing
04:19that, you know, he can, uh, take a lot of advantage and, and yeah, from, from then he can start,
04:25you know, the, the points, uh, with, um, better perspective.
04:30Thank you.
04:30Thank you, everyone.
04:31Thank you.
04:32Thank you.
