Interview to newcommer Melaine Klaffner
(from yesterday before QF matchs)
Interview by Markus Baghdatis.



1- Melanie, you are the newest player and you are having excellent results in the tour.

Well, it´s quite surprising for me I didn´t expect anything, i just wanted to win one match or too.

2- You lost in the qualies but you managed to enter as lucky looser but you reached the QF, how is the feeling?

Of course it´s a good feeling, i just want to play my game - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn´t.

3- You defeated the favorite Afinogenova, with a lower points strategy, both in singles and doubles. Wasn´t you afraid when facing Ekaterina Afinogenova?

I´m not afraid of better ranked players, you know. I have nothing to lose, so i can play smart and tactically.

4- What are your expectations for the next tournaments?

Well, a title wouldn´t be that bad

5- Are you looking forward to play FedCup with Nikola Hofmaova?

Yeah, of course I just want to represent my country and i guess that Niki and I are a good team to do so.
