What will you remember from this match
Yannick Noah: “Against this team Canada, we had the opportunity to put a few things in place J ‘. I could see how the four players were reacting. history will remember that we won 9 sets to 0. But I do not know if these three matches in straight sets, truly reflect the face of the game. we do not know that it would have happened if Gilles (Simon) was led 6-0. There was also plenty of break points against us in the dual. we said that we are doing well. we know that it could have gone. But in the unconscious of the players after the match was virtually settled because they did not let go. It’s good to have had that mindset. These twelve days have been very rich. I do not mean that the extraordinary welcome on the island. I was very well received also by players who are used to working together for a long time. They trusted us, to me, Cedric (Pioline, the assistant captain) and Lolo (Loïc Courteau, coach). He followed us “
Have you had moments of doubt
YN:”. Never. From the moment I saw the picture, for me it was a no-brainer to play in Guadeloupe. The opportunity to play on outdoor clay had become obvious. And then I realized that it was something that had never been done. Professionally, it became an obvious priority. But it was also something else than just kicking tennis balls. Many people have discovered the game, the Davis Cup, the team of France. We will go back and something will always remain. There has been controversy. People were against. But what counts is the human adventure. What happened to Gael (Monfils, from Guadeloupe), in terms of emotions, this is priceless. We are not picked but give something. Players have lived a pretty unique thing is very rare “
You’re going to celebrate that tonight
YN:”. Not too because will try to finish on a high in the two matches tomorrow (Sunday). Then we will leave with many happy memories and I hope this helps us to continue the adventure. “
