Hamburg 13.05.2002
Press Conference with MAX MIRNYI
Mirnyi vs. Sampras 6:3, 6:4

Question: What was the key to the match?

Max Mirnyi: That's tough to say. There are many keys to the match.
One is that this isn't Pete's favourite surface and that he's not at his best.
To my credit, I have to say that I played well.
I converted two breakpoints at the beginning and that is usually a good sign.
I'm happy with my play, but definitely Pete's performance wasn't the best.

Question: How are you feeling on clay now?

Max Mirnyi: Alright. This tournament brings me good memories. Last year I beat Guga hear who was really on a role in the clay court season.
