SOUNDBITE: (Mandarin)

" I felt actually really weird because he(Jimmy Wang) has been through 3 qualifiers and I hope that he can play another opponent and move further. But I didn't expect that our luck is so bad that we, two countrymen have to fight each other in the first round. There is only one winner and the other one has to go home, so I felt really pity for him." 

SUPER CAPTION: Lu Yen-Hsun

SOUNDBITE: (Mandarin) 

"A Bulgarian, a good player with outstanding performance in the recent two years. He is also younger than me and what I need to do is to play my tennis and give big pressure on him and take the initiative of every point and try to control the match. " 

SUPER CAPTION: Lu Yen-Hsun

SOUNDBITE: (Mandarin) Hsieh Su-Wei,

"I played her the end of last year in Osaka and I lost to her in two sets. Today she was more active in the court and I felt that I have not found the best form of me in singles. I hope I can do better later this season." 

SUPER CAPTION: Hsieh Su-Wei,

"Actually, apart from the hot and dry weather, the wind in the outside courts is pretty big. Both me and my competitor had a very tough game today, but my opponent had better control on the important points. Like everyone can see the scores are really tight, and I did have some chances there but I didn't grasp them. The weather indeed affected the match and actually I should have given a better performance. I am not complaining about the weather but you know it is really tough to play under such kind of extreme weather."
