Pierre-Hugues Herbert a bien résisté mais il a fini par s'incliner contre le jeune Brésilien Joao Fonseca, meilleur dans les moments chauds. Le Français s'incline en trois sets (7-6 [4], 7-6 [4], 6-4).

00:00BNP Paribas, partenaire des plus belles histoires de Roland Garros, aux côtés des ramasseurs de balles depuis plus de 50 ans.
00:30Je me suis vraiment bien. Il y a beaucoup de tension, ce match, et deux tie-breaks, les deux sets étaient trop longues, et je pense que c'était trois heures de match, donc c'était difficile, mais je me suis bien, je me suis prêt, si j'avais besoin de jouer deux sets, j'allais être là.
00:54Donc, yeah, j'ai juste, thankfully, ma fitness coach est en train de faire un bon travail, et je me suis bien pour jouer la 3rd round.
01:05Hi, Joe. Congrats sur le win. Je pense aussi que vous jouez de la mentalité, vous jouez de la forte match.
01:11Comment vous avez-vous dit votre personnage, comme une typique carioca personne de Rio?
01:15I mean, I would say Brazilians, when they're in trouble, they find a way to manage themselves, so I'll say in the important moments, I just tried to be brave, to be courage.
01:30On the tie-break of the second set, I was 3-0 down on the tie-break, and I did some amazing shots, made two great serves, and then after he did a drop shot, I made another drop shot.
01:42And it was 3-0, made some good returns, three good returns with my forehand, and I think that's the difference between the good guys in the, I mean, the top 50 from the top 10.
01:54They need to be brave, they need to know how to play in the important moments, so, yeah, happy the way that I played in these important moments, and was good mentally through the whole match.
02:05Hi, Joe. Some of the players are complaining about the atmosphere created by the French, saying it's not respectful.
02:22What's your opinion on it, and what do you think about it on your game? Thanks.
02:27I mean, I came from Brazil, so, I mean, I went to, I went to a lot of match, football matches, it's loud, Brazilian people are loud also, and I just respect, I just feel it's nice.
02:41I mean, the rivalry between the crowds. Today was just super nice to see the Brazilians calling my name, and then the French ones calling Pierre's name, and for me, it's just nice.
02:55I hope they respect more between serves and during the points, and just respect the players, but for me, it's fine.
03:03I was going to ask you about one of your potential next opponents, Jack Draper, you played him before in Indian Wells, what kind of the challenge do you see facing him?
03:14I could also ask you, would you rather not play Saturday night so you can watch the football?
03:22Yeah, I mean, Jack's a great guy. I always pass through him, and he talks to me, so he's just super nice, and, well, I mean, Gael is just a legend.
03:32For me, to play against him is just going to be a pleasure, and, yeah, I'm going to see their match and rest tomorrow and see how it goes.
03:42Both of them are good players. Of course, Jack is, I mean, he's playing incredible this two years, so it's just going to be nice to play on the third round.
03:52And if my match goes Saturday night, okay, if no, okay also. I mean, I don't, I'm not the one that choose, so I'm just going to play my best. Thank you.
04:05Hi, Joel. Congratulations. I think a lot of the tennis world is very excited about your talent and your success because the Brazilian fans are so famous for the energy that they bring to the sport.
04:22Are you able to describe what it's like when you're on a tennis court and you feel their energy?
04:30Sometimes I feel goosebumps when the people are shouting or I make a good point and they call my name.
04:38It's just super nice. It's a vibe that I can't explain. It's just, I mean, it's just incredible to represent your country, and they're cheering for you.
04:48And then after the match, you just can't talk because they shout so loud, and they make a lot of noise, so it's just super cool. It's an amazing vibe.
05:02Congratulations. I was wondering that your body language is like you have been there for many years, even so it's what it looks like.
05:14Did you practice this? Because in many different situations, it looks like you're already there, it doesn't matter, and you are so strong mentally, and your body language wonders me a lot.
05:27I mean, it's a good question. My coach says to me a lot about body language.
05:31We see a lot of, I mean, Rafa, Nadal, and Djokovic, and Federer, I mean, those guys, the body language they have is just incredible.
05:42They had, and we need to follow their steps. You need to stay positive.
05:49There's going to be bad moments, there are going to be good moments, but less moments, it's better, so you need to stay positive all the time.
05:58So it's one thing that I practice a lot. I try to practice, I mean, not also in practices, when the practices are doing is difficult, or I'm playing bad,
06:11I just try to stay positive and focus on what I need to do, the exercise or everything, but on match, I just try to stay positive all the time,
06:21and focus on the good things, what I can improve, and, yeah, the posture is just really great, and things aren't going, I mean, I think Pierre was doing a great posture today.
06:34He was always positive during the whole match, and this was making me play my best all the time.
