10 July 2005: Andr's statement!!

here it is what our fave player had to say...

In portuguese - "O fato de não jogar me deixa ainda mais nervoso. Mas cada final tem sua lição, sua história. No inicio do jogo, nada do tínhamos planejado por tanto tempo saía. Mas na troca do primeiro para o segundo set, falamos: "O time pode até perder, mas não desse jeito. Não podemos morrer na praia com todo esse jogo e esse sentimento vitorioso que temos". A partir daí, as coisas voltaram a sair bem".
2005 - Brasile.
