Philipp Kohlschreiber speaks to the media after his 6-3, 7-5, 7-5 defeat against Kevin Anderson
Q. Just talk me through your analysis of the game today and how you felt you played.
PHILIPP KOHLSCHREIBER: Well, I think it's tough to play against Kevin. He's a player with a high-risk level of his game and big server, obviously.

I think it was a good match. Maybe the first set I didn't start it well, but it's, yeah, new court, played a bit different, a bit faster than the outside courts. Maybe I struggled the first minutes on court, but then I think I played quite well.
