INTERVIEW Arazi talks about meeting JC in the quarterfinals.
Q. Can you talk about your match-up with Juan Carlos?
HICHAM ARAZI: Yeah, I lost him. I played him four times, I think, or five times. On clay I always lost to him. I beat him two times on the hard courts in Cincinnati and in Bercy. So that's the only two times where we play on hard courts. So I think he improve a lot his game on those courts. Is going to be for sure very hard. But I believe that I can win again after tomorrow.
Q. What do you have to do well to beat him in your game?
HICHAM ARAZI: Just to be aggressive, you know, and try to come more at the net. I think I'm going to have to be also fit because he's going to make me run a lot.
But to stay aggressive and to come.
Q. He's had a few injuries, as well. Are you conscious of his fitness as well at this stage?
HICHAM ARAZI: I didn't know, no. I just going to be, you know, focused like today and try to think about my game, not thinking about him. And then I think I have good chance.
