Verdasco, Fognini and Kohlschreiber talk SW19

Thursday, June 25 2015 by SNTV
  • Intro:

    Fernando Verdasco believes Andy Murray's performances on clay and his win at Queens means he's "one of the favourites" to win Wimbledon. Fabio Fognini also speaks and 2012 Wimbledon quarter-finalist Philipp Kohlschreiber spoke about his hopes for the 2015 tournament, which begins in London next week and tipped Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray for glory.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Fabio Fognini, Wimbledon 30th seed

    (Q: You are 28th in the ATP rankings but 30th seed at Wimbledon, do you think the tournament needs to evolve when it comes to the rankings?)

    "If I have to say, yes. But it's not my problem for sure, they make this, they have the rules, so we have all to respect this rule and if they change this it's better, if they improve it's better for our sport, but if they have their rules we have to accept that and play with that "

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Fernando Verdasco

    (Q: You lost to Andy Murray in the 2013 quarter-finals at Wimbledon and know him well, how well do you think he will do this year?)

    "This year and the last couple of years he was and he won two years ago and for sure he is going to be one of the favourites here also. He is in very good form, he has been playing very good on clay, he won at Queens, so of course he is going to be one of the favourites for the tournament."

    SOUNDBITE: (German) Philipp Kohlschreiber

    (Q: You've reached the quarter-finals at Wimbledon in 2012 is that the target this year?)

    "Yeah I played in the quarter-final. Now it's a big tournament and all the time I'M thinking and saying let's see what happens. I will go to play well and in my head concentrate on a match by match basis."
