DAVID NALBANDIAN: Yeah, in 5 2, yes.
Q. Well, at 5 2.
DAVID NALBANDIAN: Well, yesterday I play almost like this, or maybe today a little bit better. When was the last time? I don't know. I mean, it's tough to remember. Last year maybe or in Madrid or here. But I think I played great match today.
Q. Given the standard of your play, is it frustrating for you that you've yet to win a Grand Slam?

Q. How did you explain that the indoor conditions suit your tennis so well? Because last year at the same time you were playing amazing tennis. Once again, Stockholm, Basel, great tournament here. It's looking pretty good. The indoor conditions for you, why is it so good for you?

Q. What is the difference between the very good Nalbandian and the very bad Nalbandian in the match? Is it only mental?
DAVID NALBANDIAN: For today, or...
Yeah, yeah, it's just mental, I think. Sometimes injuries. It's not easy when you have some injuries and you have to play a long match or it's few things.
