J. Johansson - Day 3
Wednesday, June 22, 2005
Johansson d. Rusedski 7-6(10), 3-6, 6-4, 7-6(5)
Q. I just want to ask why you decide to continue the game.
JOACHIM JOHANSSON: Pardon?
Q. Why you decide to continue?
JOACHIM JOHANSSON: Oh, to continue. Oh, I didn't really have much choice. It was 5-4. I prefer to play one more game so it was 5-All and we could stop when it was equal.
The umpire said, Oh, you got to keep going until next side change, to court supervisor, when I speak to him. When it was 6-5, he said, Yeah, if it's after 5-All, you got to continue to finish the set.
So I didn't really have much choice. I mean, it was tough to see when we were serving. I think he also had problems.
Q. So you don't think about the crowd?
JOACHIM JOHANSSON: No, no, the crowd was good. I liked it. Not because of the crowd. The would see more tomorrow if we kept playing tomorrow, I think.
