Victor Hanescu Quotations

Until now I wasn't used to playing on hard courts, ... We don't have courts like this in Romania, we only have clay courts, and I don't know, this year I've started to play better and better on this kind of court, so I am feeling confident now and I am looking forward for the next matches and also for the US Open.

Of course I'm happy. It's always a pleasure to play here and to win. Now I'm in the second round and I will play an Italian guy again, so I hope to do well and enjoy the support from the crowd.

I can hardly believe I beat him. It's great to defeat a Roland Garros finalist.

I feel more motivated when I am playing at home. A Romanian final seems much closer, but there are still some hard matches to be played.

Fernando is in good form and ready to fight, but I am sure today's match cost him a lot of energy. I am well prepared.

It's always difficult to play against a crowd like this, ... Some people are really crazy. I've never seen something like this in my life.

I liked very much the way I played today. I'm serving very well and I'm happy about that.

I had some tough matches this week and saved a lot of break points, ... It was very difficult, but I was very calm, very focused on my serve. I think this was the key to my game.
