08.01.2021


Sebko: Congratulations team France you have qualified for the final! What are your thoughts so far in the ATP cup?

Bash: We have good feelings! We train and coach each other and are constant in our game. We are both confident. We have played difficult matches, especially against GB and have shown great mental and abilities. We are confident for the final but it's gonna be really hard. I really want my revenge [laughs].

Sebko: Good to hear! Both of you haven’t lost a match on your way to final, that’s something that must give both of you huge confidence to the final, do you think it will be decisive?

Bash: Each match is different. We have to be careful and stay focused. But when both players win every match, it's good for the confidence indeed. During this tournament, we have learn to know each other and that's a nice thing for the rest

Sebko: Great for both of you! Which match was the toughest so far in ATP cup for you 2 individually?

Bash: For me against Gaz and for LS21 against Squeaky. Gaz has been amazing after a few games. Nice return, nice attack, good volleys. It was really hard for me to win.

Squeaky: We saw it was very tough to win but fortunately for you, you came through! What do you think is the key for your so far very good performances?

Bash: Being aggressive, mixing my game, being relaxed and focused, take my time to analyze my opponent.

LS21: Good mental preparation.

Sebko: You are in the final, do you have any data about your opponent team? What do you expect from them?

Bash: I've played against my opponent few days ago. I've seen my mistakes but it's gonna be really tough to win this match. He knows my game, so I need to be smart!

LS21: Well... weird to play with because of his defense and slices [laughs].
