00:00BNP Paribas, partenaire des plus belles histoires de Roland Garros, aux côtés des ramasseurs de balles depuis plus de 50 ans.

00:30Il jouait vraiment bien les deux sets et j'ai eu joué solid et j'ai servé vraiment bien les deux sets et puis, il me semble que j'ai fait un peu plus de temps.

00:39Il me semble que j'ai fait quatre points avant de l'arrivée.

00:43Je souhaite un speedy recovery et j'espère que j'ai pu puer en forme et jouer de tennis comme il faut.

00:51Merci. Questions, please?

00:54Alex, how much is that

01:00a relief in a sense

01:02so you

01:03say six years without

01:06getting past the first one

01:07six matches on the bounce that you've lost

01:10so a bit of relief

01:12I guess

01:12I actually haven't thought about it

01:16every match that I've played here has been actually

01:18really tough

01:20I think I remember all the losses that I had

01:22and they've not been the easiest of draws

01:24and they've been tough first round losses

01:26and ones that I've taken to heart

01:29and yeah, like you said

01:30it is a nice feeling to get through to the second round

01:32I think I was saying at the start of the week

01:34where I thought my game was at

01:36and I thought it was at a really good level

01:37and getting through to the first round

01:40the first two sets especially

01:42were a good level back on my part

01:44mentally a little bit

01:47I was frustrated

01:48not being able to consolidate

01:50my break points

01:51or do more damage

01:53on his surf

01:54but other than that

01:55I think my tennis was pretty solid

01:56and yeah

01:57I'm really positive

01:58with where my game's at

01:59Congratulations

02:02Can I take you back to the

02:04it's a while ago now

02:06with that day on the ball ring

02:07and where you have the

02:08oh yeah

02:09and you had that win

02:10and it's no longer there

02:11but where you've gone to

02:13and what it's like coming back here

02:15yeah, it's nice

02:16and the memories of that

02:18of playing in that court

02:19yeah, you know

02:202017 was a good year for me

02:22you know

02:23won French Open juniors

02:24got to number two in the world

02:25in juniors

02:25and you know

02:26straight after French

02:27I won my first pro title

02:28so

02:29and that was all on clay

02:30and I think that was

02:31that was a great

02:33kind of showing

02:34as to how my game

02:35can kind of

02:35play on this surface

02:37yeah

02:38and it was great memories

02:39unfortunately

02:39that court's not there anymore

02:40I would have loved to play

02:42play a

02:43you know

02:44a professional match on it

02:45but unfortunately

02:46it's not there anymore

02:46it was a great court

02:47I really loved it

02:48even though I only

02:50stepped on it once

02:51but yeah

02:53good memories of that court

02:54and yeah

02:55it was a

02:562017 was a good year

02:57Lacey, congrats

02:59we see a lot of Aussies

03:00struggle here

03:01it's like so hard to find wins

03:02do you find

03:03it is more significant

03:04when you can get a win here

03:05we said like Wimbledon

03:06Australian Open

03:07a lot of the Aussies

03:07have had wins

03:08and yeah

03:08just like a drought here

03:10does it feel significant?

03:11well last year

03:11I lost to Cock

03:12in the first round

03:13so

03:13he got me in the first round

03:15but no look

03:16it's

03:16I can only speak

03:18on my behalf

03:19that I'm happy

03:20that I finally got a win here

03:21and yeah

03:23I think it's

03:24not a secret

03:25that probably

03:26Klay isn't the best

03:27surface for Aussies

03:28but slowly we're starting

03:30to see more and more results

03:31and more wins

03:32in the first round

03:33which is great

03:33both on the men's

03:34and the women's side

03:35you know

03:35Maya Joint just won

03:36a title on Klay last week

03:37which was massive for her

03:39yeah

03:40and look

03:41it's

03:42yeah

03:43I think

03:44the Klay court's

03:45not been our favourite

03:45but hopefully

03:46you know

03:46Demon's playing

03:47unbelievable on the Klay

03:48now this year

03:49and yeah

03:49hopefully I can

03:50I can make some results

03:52also

03:52Alexi

03:57you've been seated

03:58now at a couple

03:59of majors

04:00does

04:01does that

04:02carry much weight

04:03for you

04:04being seated

04:05or

04:06I mean rankings

04:07can be so fleeting

04:08so

04:09how do you

04:10is there a different

04:11mindset

04:12is there a different

04:13approach

04:13being seated

04:14compared to

04:15not

04:16I think the only

04:17difference is

04:17that you don't

04:19play a

04:20play a higher rank

04:21than you

04:21before the third round

04:23that's the

04:24that's the

04:25that's the

04:25that's the biggest

04:26difference

04:26you know

04:27back when I wasn't

04:28seated

04:28I was playing

04:29you know

04:29a seat in the

04:30second round

04:30and sometimes

04:31it could be

04:31a really

04:32really high

04:32seat

04:33whereas now

04:34it's like

04:35you're kind of

04:36going in as a

04:37favourite

04:37for the first

04:38two matches

04:39and I think

04:40that's a

04:40different kind

04:40of mentality

04:41and it's like

04:41kind of

04:42you're being

04:43back when I

04:45wasn't seated

04:45I was kind of

04:46the one being

04:46you know

04:47I wanted to

04:48beat the

04:49seed really

04:49bad

04:50and I was

04:50trying to

04:51bring my

04:51A game

04:51whereas

04:52now you're

04:53the seed

04:53and your

04:54opponent's

04:54doing that

04:55to you

04:55so it's

04:56a little bit

04:57of a different

04:57kind of mindset

04:58in terms of

04:58that

04:58but at the

04:59end of the

04:59day

04:59you're just

05:00focusing on

05:01your own

05:01game

05:02and you're

05:03not kind

05:03of thinking

05:04about the

05:04number

05:04in front

05:04of your

05:05name

05:05I think

05:11they're in

05:11the fifth

05:12set

05:12but

05:12Kazoo or

05:13Tabilo

05:14maybe next

05:15I think

05:15for you

05:15what can

05:17you tell

05:17us about

05:18those three

05:19I mean

05:19you might

05:19have another

05:19lefty

05:20potentially

05:21what sort

05:22of challenges

05:22do they pose

05:23for you

05:24look I

05:25think

05:25lefties

05:27they pose

05:28a challenge

05:28to everybody

05:29to every

05:30variety

05:30I think

05:30they're not

05:31the easiest

05:31players to

05:31play

05:32they have

05:32their advantages

05:33on the

05:33ad side

05:34but then

05:36again we

05:36have our

05:36advantages

05:37also

05:37against

05:37them

05:38so

05:38it's just

05:39kind of

05:39finding

05:39getting used

05:40to playing

05:40against

05:41lefties

05:41you know

05:41I played

05:41my last

05:42two matches

05:43against

05:43lefties

05:43against

05:43Noz and

05:44Nishioka

05:45so

05:45yeah

05:47if he goes

05:48through I know

05:48it's not going

05:49to be easy

05:49and it's not

05:50going to be

05:50easy if

05:50Kazoo goes

05:51through

05:51either

05:51against the

05:52French crowd

05:52it's going

05:53to be

05:53rowdy

05:54I guess

05:55he plays

05:55really well

05:56in France

05:56and he's

05:57a really

05:57good player

05:58he's got

05:58a lot

05:58of potential

05:59so

05:59yeah

06:00neither

06:01of those

06:01matchups

06:02are going

06:02to be

06:03easy

06:03for me

06:03so I'm

06:03going to

06:04have to

06:04bring my

06:04A game

06:04probably a little

06:06bit better

06:06than I brought

06:07today

06:07but

06:07yeah

06:08we'll see

06:09last one
