Q. First three sets it seemed it was a good match. What did you think?
GORAN IVANISEVIC: Yeah, it's the best match I ever play here in the French Open, and best match this year by far I play. I could win all three sets. Lot of breakpoints, I played shots I never played before, down the line. Very, very good tennis. Then in the end I was a little bit tired. I went too quick  for the points. I wanted to hit too much. Too many errors. The conditions
were a little bit slow. It was not easy. I missed a couple of easy shots, easy shots, but a couple centimeters. Breakpoints, a little bit unlucky. If I could win maybe a little more breakpoints, could be different match. But we both played great tennis. After all, this five months of struggling, finally I'm happy the way I play tennis. Today, this was tennis. The five months, I don't know what I was doing, but today I play tennis.

Q. And concerning your concentration as well, it seems it was very good.
GORAN IVANISEVIC: Yeah, everything was fine, really good. No, I save a lot of breakpoints with some very smart play. Was really good tennis for both of us. I mean, we both play good tennis. Bad luck that we played each other.

Q. Fourth set you were tired?
GORAN IVANISEVIC: Yeah, my legs were a little bit slow. We had a lot of runnings. My best shot, forehand cross-court, is going to his best shot, forehand cross-court. I don't do too much damage. I have to hit it perfect. If he's lefty, I open the side. To him I don't hurt him too much, you know, I have to hit perfectly. We were running a lot.

Q. What happened at the end of the match, you had a problem with a spectator?
GORAN IVANISEVIC: It's okay. Just my problem (laughter).

Q. What are you going to do now? Are you going to play on grass as soon as you can?
GORAN IVANISEVIC: I'm still in doubles here. It's tough, you know. Last six, seven tournaments I won one round. Last year I also lost first round with a terrible match, then I play final of Wimbledon, then I forgot everything. It's tough. I have to get motivated. I have to continue practicing. It's not going to be easy, but I have to. I don't know, Wimbledon comes, you never
know what can happen there.

Q. But with that kind of match, it's got to give you some confidence?
GORAN IVANISEVIC: This kind of match, yes, but finally I play tennis. This is what I supposed to play. When you lose like this, then is nothing to say. You know, you lost, you played everything. The guy was better today. Hopefully can give me a little confidence for Wimbledon. But Wimbledon is completely different game. Just mentally it can give me something.

Q. What is going to be your schedule now?
GORAN IVANISEVIC: I play Queen's and then Wimbledon.

Q. Do you feel a little sad that had you to play someone like Arazi today in the first round?
GORAN IVANISEVIC: Yeah, it's a tough round. We play in Monte-Carlo, but that was terrible match for me. Today was, like I say, I play tennis today. We both play great match. I could win also in three sets. I had a lot of breakpoints. First time on breakpoints I try to do something, you know. I was not pushing the ball. I try to hit return, try to hit forehand couple of times. Went a little bit like two centimeters long, wide. That's bad luck. At least I hit it, you know. He played one or two good shots. It's not easy first round, but is tough, you know, first round to lose. I have one month to Wimbledon. It's not easy. It's not easy to get motivated now, but I have to.

Q. You say for five months you didn't know what you were doing. I suppose I shouldn't ask, What were you doing? Was it confusion?
GORAN IVANISEVIC: I mean, I play, but I didn't play. I was not there. Every little problem I maybe was giving mentally up. Last week finally I won one match. It was not there. I played two good tournaments, Qatar and Scottsdale, that was two good tournaments I played. Today I played really good tennis, finally after these five months. I finally put my mind together. That was bad luck I played Arazi first round.
