Our winner at the Monte-Carlo Masters is finally Alex (+5 ranks at the Race) which allows him to rest during the Bucharest Open, ChipAndChargeDaez ended last (-3 ranks). Here are the interviews, sorry for the delay :

LLTL, Nelson : Fisrt LLTL title for you, I'm sure it will give you higher expectations for the clay season ?

Alex : What a pleasure ! It's a great moment for me, Anekfu told me I won but I woudn't believe it ! I've made a colder strategy and that was the right way, but I know it's just a step, the final goal is a grand slam's victory. So I can't wait, I've to go back in business for the next tournament.

LLTL, Nelson : You chose one of the "coldest" prognostic of the history : only the seeded players at the 2nd round (which gave you a good 15/16), and then always the higher ranked player until the end of the draw (except Tsonga against Cilic). Djokovic's win added to yours is a very bad thing for the risk taking in the next LLTL tournaments, don't you think ?

Alex : I didn't want to go on that way but some disappointing results made me change my mind and give up the sentimental side of my prognostics. But I know I can't keep this plan, I love the game for the small flame of random and exploit! No worries I will believe in Gulbis and denigrate Monfils for a long time !

LLTL, Nelson : It seems that you are not a clay court player... After your great performances in february (winning Dubaï and Rotterdam), you start the clay season with a catastrophic result. What happened ?

ChipAndChargeDaez : Yes, I showed a terrible performance in Monte Carlo. But I'm fine with this, because it was the first tournament on clay this season and I think I just need some more time to manage the adaption to clay. It's never easy for me to switch from hard to clay court but nevertheless I'm looking forward to guess the upcoming tournaments. I'm confident of that my performance will constantly increase during the next weeks so that I will be back on top (at the latest) in Paris...
