“The game was quite in control as of being a game of tennis. During the game I have enjoyed playing. Honestly, since 2-2 until 4-2 I have had 40/15, 15/40 and I didn’t take advantages of the opportunities I had and the set got complicated. He played very well his drop shots and the hitters. In general it was a good game that could have been closed before. I felt the support by the public since I am playing at home. I am happy for the victory and for being in the semifinals.” “I could have lost, in the end in tennis you lose. The feelings weren’t the same as last year. You don’t always loose but it happens on a tennis court and feelings are not comparable to last year. Fognini is one of the best players in the world on this surface. It is a very positive result against a very difficult rival that under the circumstances could have been more or less favorable than it has been.” “I don’t pretend to do anything and I don’t compare to nothing. I live life day by day. I aim to play better every day that is my comparison, not to other years or other titles. At the end of the day I compare day to day. From there I try to be the best. There were moments were I played a very high level. I know I was playing well and that I have done by backhand well. Tomorrow there is another opportunity.” “The mind is what permit you do better with the right hand. You have to do it without handing over points and without making mistakes. When you achieve this mental strength and avoid making many mistakes the rest comes little by little.” “Kuznetsov and Kohlschreiber are different players. They are different players but complicated. Whenever they play well they are capable of playing a good game.” “I have great feelings. There was a great crowd. I enjoyed the match a lot. The atmosphere was unbelievable on the court today. I feel the support of the crowd and it is something very special for me to play at home. I am happy for the victory and I think that I was playing great tennis for the most of the time today. I am just happy to be in the semifinals and have another chance tomorrow to play well.” “I know he has a huge potential and that he can hit a lot of winners. At the same he has the chance to play so well but he takes a lot of risks too. He will hit winners but the same time he will make mistakes. I will have to find the balance to not missing but also not giving him the chance to push me back or to hit too many winners from not too difficult positions. “ “My aim is never revenge. I don’t believe in revenge and that kind of thing. I believe that last year was a different year than this year and a different kind of match. I never thought about the match last year coming into this match. I thought about playing my tennis. I know I was playing well and if it would stay like that then I would have my chances.”
