官網有一點記者會影片（不是全程的）

Q. Can you tell us about your feelings right now?

GUSTAVO KUERTEN: I think I'm very satisfied, especially the memories
that are going are going to stick with me from this match. I thought
I played much better than I expect. Wasn't a single shot that I didn't
make, so I play, you know, forehand, backhand, serve, dropshot, volleys.

I did everything that I think I was able to do in the past, too. Not
at the same frequency, but at least I had the feeling to do it once
more. I felt myself competitive sometimes, and like this.

I really had the real idea that, you know, if I had the better if I
could expect better reaction from my body, I'm sure I would be playing
a great level, so that's good for me.

Probably my goal was pretty much achievement from what I expect from
my match.

Q. And then the match ended and we saw you going to the bench, putting
the towel over your head. What were you thinking about at the time?

GUSTAVO KUERTEN: No, just being thankful for everything that happened to
me in all my career.

I'm always used to do this once finish tournaments, once I had the wins,
too. Just take one minute for myself and really deep thinking from
everything that happened in my life.

Especially right now, it was more more overall, you know, during all
these years, all the success that I have, and the opportunity that I
have to play on this great event.

So basically, thanking for all this great time I have on tennis court.

Q. You will play doubles with Sebastien Grosjean. Why Sebastien?

GUSTAVO KUERTEN: I think yes. Yes. I didn't know because he was injured,
but I think he confirmed now, and we book in Miami. He has been around all
the years I was playing very well, too, and we are good friends. We ask
each other, Hey, let's go. We play. It's nice, a French guy playing here.
I think it would be just some extra fun.

It's not the same, you know, expectations. It's not the same intenseness
(sic) and the singles match, but at least extra fun that I can try and
enjoy a little bit more.

Q. What did tennis mean in your life? What did tennis give to you?

GUSTAVO KUERTEN: I guess big knowledge. All these years I've been learning
a lot, and especially these last three or four years that I have to deal
with difficult situations. So I had to grow as a person, too. I guess my
world start to get larger because of tennis, the success I had.

I was able to my life just became something much more larger than normal
people. And like this, I think I was able to adapt myself pretty well. I
was happy being successful, so basically tennis, it was in this part of
my life was running into my veins, into my blood. I love to be out there
and playing.

For me, this tournament especially was probably the motivation for myself,
probably my heart that keeps the blood flow, you know. Like all the goals
and all the dreams that I have to come out here and play well.

Q. Do you have any regrets about your career?

GUSTAVO KUERTEN: No. I guess I had the toughest moment, but that's, I
think, part of life, too. As tennis is, it's going to be sooner or
later it's going to finish for me. I don't know, Nadal, Federer,
Djokovic, everybody, one day it's going to stop.

Basically I'm lucky I'm I could understand that, you know, in my career
things not happen, probably in two ways. One stage of my career was very
successful, and I was able to get all the goals that I could. Then the
second part was really tough.

But in the same way, as I said, for me it was important to live these
years, to grow as a person, to understand what it's, what is the to
have other things to deal.

So I guess like that, for me, there's no regrets at all. Just big
knowledge, like I said, I could get over this 10, 15 years.

Q. What is your best memories here at Roland Garros?

GUSTAVO KUERTEN: I had so many. Probably of course the one I did the
heart in the first match. The most intense one. And probably today
it's going to be the second, you know, the one that's going to stick
with me, also, more often.

But I had a great time here playing over the years, one after the other.
Always being successful, I always had some emotion going on. Good
connection with the crowd, too.

So this particular tournament is really like home for me. I feel myself
so comfortable. Every time I get very anxious. And like I said, I'm really
excited just to be out here and playing.

Q. Maybe you are the first guy in history that you lose a match and receive
a trophy. What do you think about that?

GUSTAVO KUERTEN: No. When I lose in the final I have a trophy, too,
sometimes (laughter.)

But I get it was a great memory for me, and I didn't expect. I received
not only the trophy but nice words, too, from the president, you know. He
thanked me for everything that I could agree for the tournament, the way
I play, and then the joy that the people have, watch my play.

So for me, that's great. I guess goes over my expectations. It's not only
the way I'm playing and how I hit the ball, but also the way I face the
game, I think, was very important. And to be out there today playing
against a French player and having more support than him is not usual at all.

So for me, it was, like I said, a great day for me. I just have to be
very honored for for today and everything that really happened for me,
especially here.

Q. What do you think you will miss the most in tennis?

GUSTAVO KUERTEN: I guess these days before the competition. The match
itself, once you are there, the part that you can, you know, live the
joy of playing breakpoints, set points, you know, playing having these
feelings that I think only the sports can bring it over.

But I guess I had my time, too. I really been very intense for the time
that I was around, so this I'm not going to have it anymore, but I think
I'm not going to miss that much. I really feel as I had my job done.

For now, maybe I find another way to feel myself as happy as I was playing
tennis.

Q. So now it's time for party?

GUSTAVO KUERTEN: No, I'm very serious man, you know. Brazil, we don't
like parties. (laughter.)

No, it's time probably to have more priorities for my personal life, too.
Get myself more structure, you know, have time off to think about it, to
rest a little bit.

Like I said, my life, you know, becomes something very huge it takes a
lot of effort to deal day by day, especially in Brazil, you know. I'm
really a big icon in Brazil. Every day they come to me and look as a
different person.

That's probably now an adaptation that I have to do. See what's going
to get myself interesting in the future. Probably rest for a little bit,
but also I like to be active doing something. So maybe around tennis and
my foundation I will find nice things to do.

Q. It was hard for some of us to hear your speech on the court. Can you
just tell us what the most important part of those words was?

GUSTAVO KUERTEN: I know why it was hard, because my French is terrible.
(laughter.)

No, I try just to say first that for me was really important that the
feeling and the success I had here in my three wins over these times.

But what feels even more important, and the real meaning for me, that
today even I had another great example. The love that people treat me
here, the way I could get them involved with my game and with myself.

This, I think, was the highest victory for me. And then the other thing
that I said was just about how I said, Now it's about tennis. That means,
you know, this part of my life was really intense and like my blood. I
live this very intense.

This tournament was the most special and most motivation motivate
tournament that keeps me going, like my love, my heart, and everything.
So that was basically two things that I tried to say in French, but I
think nobody understand me. (laughter.)
