Nobody likes to play against Fabrice Santoro. His anticipation, his touch and hands are unbelievable. Every time we play, I know I am going to have a tough match but today, I felt good and I think I did the right things tactically. I am working on having a more complete game. I know I can't reach my goal of being a Top 10 with just a big serve. I think I am on a good track at the moment, I am playing well and have a lot of confidence from the Davis Cup.

After the third set, I thought I'm going to win because I felt everything much better. I think he was just pushing the ball back and running left and right. I think I was very unlucky in the fifth set not to get the break in the beginning, then to lose service game after.

I am number five in the world so I expect to play well. We made some mistakes and it got difficult but we hung in and won it.
