JO‑WILFRIED TSONGA

        

            THE MODERATOR:  Questions, please.

            Q.  He's always a difficult player to play against.  Seemed like you kind of ran out of steam a bit towards the end of the match.

            JO‑WILFRIED TSONGA:  Sorry, can you repeat?

            Q.  I'm saying you kind of ran out of energy perhaps a bit at the end of the match after a tough week you had.

            JO‑WILFRIED TSONGA:  Not at the end of the match, also at the beginning.  It was difficult for me today, because I played doubles last night and I didn't recover enough, you know, to play today.

            So I tried, but it was tough.

            Q.  You must feel you have had enough grass court preparation for Wimbledon, though?

            JO‑WILFRIED TSONGA:  Yeah, of course.  I've played a lot of matches.  That was my goal for this preparation.  Today, you know, I'm just tired, but I'm sure I will recover enough to play Wimbledon and to be ready.
