Guillermo Coria Quotations

I am happy to have won this easy. It is good for the next rounds since I will save energy that I am sure I will be needing. It wasn't easy to play today. The weather conditions made the court very heavy.

I am finding my game and today it was another difficult first set. Volandri played very well and there was nothing I could do. Then I had luck in the 3-2 and managed to win the set. Probably he got a bit tired from yesterday.

I have to get my confidence back and win at least two matches in Paris,

I didn't want to go out with a 6-1 6-1 defeat. This was an incredible match.

I was losing feeling on the hand, ... It has been happening for four days. I had a lot of treatment...but during the match, the more I serve, the more it gets tight -- the forearm, the shoulder. I knew it could happen. That's just the way it is.

It was very hot and I was really struggling at the start with my reaction time, ... But luckily I was able to turn it around and by the end I was at full speed.

I didn't know my opponent very well and his game was a very slow game. He doesn't give you any rhythm. He comes out with things that I don't expect.

I was really worried because my hands were shaking and I felt sick.

They are all very young and motivated and looking forward to making history in their own country.

My first match was very fast, so I was able to settle myself down afterward. But, the evening match was difficult.
