(Q. You're in a part of the draw where we would have to play four times in five days if it's still a Sunday final. Do you think that's too much to expect for a man to do in best of five?):

"Regarding the scheduling, well, that's the way it is. Talked a little bit with the ATP representatives, people in the organisation of the tournament. You know, there is not much, as I said, you can do about the weather. For now I will just focus on my quarter-finals tomorrow that I'm supposed to play, and then we'll see what happens. You know, obviously I wish I can play tomorrow quarter-finals. Let's see if that happens and then we will take it from there."

(Q. Regarding the rain and the circumstances and the wait, can you evaluate your level of play right now? Do you feel you're playing your best tennis at the moment?):

"Day to day it changes as the weather conditions and you have to adjust. I'm in the quarterfinals. And, you know, I dropped one set. So, you know, things are going the right way. Of course I know that I can play better and I have a couple more gears. That excites me, actually, motivates me to work and get myself in that maximum speed hopefully for the next match and see where it takes me."

Q. Some of the women's players yesterday were not happy to be on court when it was raining a little bit and the conditions of the court. Since you played yesterday, just wondering what your thoughts were? Was there a point you thought you shouldn't be on the court?):

"I can understand the view of the tournament, his position. They push us to play two hours yesterday. Of course the court at the end was not in the good shape to play. Also was a bit difficult to play with these heavy balls. Today I had a bit pain on the elbow because of the balls. But you have to play everywhere."
