I lost the opening singles here against Romania in five sets, but I will try to use that experience to my benefit, ... I just hope I get the win on Friday.
It's always tough to play a friend but apart from that, I consider Ivan to be probably the best player, behind (Roger) Federer, since the indoor season last year. It's a great win and great for my confidence.

I just tried to be aggressive and play consistent, ... It's been a good year for me so far and it will be even better if I can win tomorrow.
