It was a fantastic match - the first session was the best I've ever played over a five or six-frame period.

It's fantastic to be back in the frame again,

The first set was a bit tough because I hadn't played a match for six months. You are unable to decide where you have to move, when you have to go to the net, whether to put pressure or stay back. I was a bit lost and tense because I knew that I had a chance.

I was very disappointed to lose because I think I was by far the better player throughout the whole match.

It did not look like it was my match, but somehow in the best-of-five matches there is always a chance. I love to play Davis Cup. I always fight until the end.

No match was played on this wicket in the last six weeks. Because of winter, there has been no grass. It has come on lately.
