D Nalbandian/ A Seppi

7-5, 7-5

THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.

Q. How do you feel on clay at the moment?

DAVID NALBANDIAN: Well, not hundred percent. But I don't know, the match today, it's difficult to take something positive. I mean, I didn't play my best.

Q. Was it too early for you?

DAVID NALBANDIAN: Very early. I don't know, this kind of tournament, it's ridiculous to play at this time. Looks like, I don't know, futures - futures in, I don't know, nowhere. So it's ridiculous.

Q. You're not used to playing that early?

DAVID NALBANDIAN: No, no. And when you ask to play a little bit late, so it's worse.

Q. What is your main ambition at the moment?

DAVID NALBANDIAN: Well, try to win a tournament. I mean, I know that I can play good on clay as well, so I have to keep going, try to get more confidence every match that I play. I didn't play lot of matches after Paris last year, Roland Garros, so I didn't play many tournaments on clay, so that's tough in the beginning.

But I feel that I can play better.

Q. In which respect above all?

DAVID NALBANDIAN: Well, I don't know. I have to try to play my game all the time.
