THE MODERATOR: Questions in French.
Q. Were you satisfied with this match? You came back well. You managed to outpace him. What do you think?
CORENTIN MOUTET: I'm quite happy to get the upper hand. He's quite a good player right now. I knew I could do it. I believed in myself.
So I just needed to step up my game, because during the first set he was better than me. So I'm happy that I managed to do it.
Q. What did you do to manage to come back during the match? How did you manage to do that?
CORENTIN MOUTET: I tried to have more balls in, to be more aggressive, and to have less unforced errors.
Q. Against Norrie, how do you feel? He's a great player. He's a baseline player.
CORENTIN MOUTET: I think he's a great player. I'll need to play well. I'll need to draw upon my qualities. It will be very tough, and I hope that I'll get the upper hand.
Q. We saw that you were a bit upset during the first set, and during the second set, it seems that you had a problem with your racquet and you said it's the worst racquet of my life. Can you explain this sentence?
CORENTIN MOUTET: No. There is not much to say. It's quite clear. But thank you for having highlighted that point. I think it's important.
