- Niko, how do you feel mentaly and physically after a week of tournament?
"I feel great. I have no particular worries, no little aches and pains, there is only the fatigue. It is normal that we feel it after we play every second day. Mentally I am in top form. The first part of the tournament was good for us and the atmosphere in the team is super. We have some places where we can relaxe and think of something else, so it is good for us."
- Until now you are unbeaten, how do you see the following game?
"It is not easy, we start from zero. We were clearly the best team in the world during a week, now it is over. If we will lose tomorrow, we miss our Olympics. But we are fit and very motivated, we really have the desire to do well our job."
- Is the life in China still so nice? Tell us a bit about your daily routine.
"I would not exactly say nice, because we are not on holiday here after all. But to be sincere, we can´t complain. Everything is done for our comfort. We live all in two appartments with lounges where we can discuss and play together. My daily routine is based on recovery, massage and reunions with the staff to prepare the games. Every second day we can sleep a bit longer, but otherwise we respect the routine, so we can´t do other things. And more than this, in the Village we can keep us informed about al the competitions and that changes a bit the perspective."
- Did you meet Nafal, Federer or Djoko? If you didn´t, who did you met?
"No, I didn´t meet them because of the incompatibility of the schedules! But we can see all the French athletes at Club France and I twaddled especially with Mikael Llodra. "
