Immediately after the match between Andrey Kuznetsov and Mikhail Kukushkin Russian team at full strength come to the press conference. - Not so long ago the Russian team played with the Spaniards in the cold Vladivostok. Played whether this time the weather at hand our team? Tarpishchev: Cover made for themselves, but no one thought it would be so cold. At this time in Moscow was supposed to be an Indian summer. So it has turned completely unintentionally. - Have you all ever to play in such extreme conditions, both here in Moscow? Don: Yeah, it was necessary. "+2", The snow. Rublev: "-1", Uzbekistan. Tarpishchev: Firstly, with India in 1982 in Donetsk played was "6", and it was snowing. Then he played in Argentina Fed Cup - was also ice, "4". And with Austria once played five days in Jurmala. - Shamil Anvyarovich, what can you say about the growth of the Russian team for the last time? Tarpishchev: I want to thank the guys for the dedication - all played as best they could. However, Rublev ripped smash tightened the match today, but it is a problem of growth. But as the guys have added very much, all are much higher in the rankings.
I think that Davis Cup - it's a springboard to grow, because there is a big responsibility, emotional background. This is the only team competition, the only opportunity children have to play a team. Andrey Kuznetsov is moved forward. Phenomenally he played against Bautista-agouti at the Olympic Games, and just feet hurtful injury prevented him to go further. I think it was quite tough to get past the quarter-finals. Very high quality plays Don in separate matches. The victory over Ferrer in Rio worth it. Consistently show good results is difficult, due to the fact that psychology is going bit by bit. Rublev fever all year, but I think one of his best games he has played - against Robin Haase in the Davis Cup in the summer. He has a problem of inadequate physical exertion - it is not enough, as it seems to him, the volume of training, and he himself overloads. If in this context to find a reasonable solution, and it will go fast results. Kravchuk has already established itself as a strong doubles player, and achieved success in the single - hit the hundred, it was his best result in his career. - Question about Andrei Kuznetsov.
Your match with Alexander Nedovesovym completed for you confident enough. Do you think what happened to Mikhail Kukushkin today? Kuznetsov: I guess in my today's victory and Eugene Don also played a role. First, I was now fresher than Michael, and secondly, I had the opportunity to observe how playing Kukushkin, tactically dismantle its game with the coach. His game, I much more satisfied today than yesterday against Nedovesova. Yesterday nerves prevented me little more than today. Today I showed a better game. - What helped you this weekend, what inspired? Maybe, the support of friends, and come with Tursunov Safin Shamil Anvyarovich personally hand kneaded Andrey Kuznetsov, handed tea. Was used in general such that the master served tea during the match? Tarpishchev: You do not think of the captain (laughs). Kravchuk: We had a lovely atmosphere in the team. All were laid in every game, regardless of the outcome. During the work itself, for the whole process of all thank you very much. As I said, thank the fans and Kazakhstan, it also gave their emotions and an additional charge of the fight. Kuznetsov: Also want to say thank you to their fans. Russian music, they was playing, and helped morally charged.
Our team all performed their roles very well. Before the game, I am warming up ointment rubbed his legs, whenever necessary, bring me to eat, drink. Always a very good software. And of course, since we are playing at home, come and friends and relatives also help. Don: We worked not just us. Many thanks to all members of the team, Shamil Anvyarovich as he was always on top, without it nothing would have happened. A motivation ... In my first match yesterday with Misha came to my friends. They were trying to outshout the Kazakh fans, I called to thank them - they could not say a word, lost his voice. The motivation, of course - and this is the Moscow World Group. The motivation was enough. I am happy that we are back in the World Group. I remember that when in Vladivostok, we beat the Spanish, Tarpishchev said that it was this team we have a chance to go to the World Group. I am happy that that's how it happened. We grew up, and I believe that we are worthy of the World Group, we are today and proved. Rublev: Thank you very much for this team.
We not only everyone plays for themselves, we have a great chat with the boys and all the staff, we have a great team - it helps to keep together and move forward. The return to the World Group - is incredibly nice, we've been trying to do it! The best part is that we are from the beginning of Bones themselves won their matches, and the latter also won. Don: I would add that our team is not only four guys. We have and Karen Hachani, and Teimuraz Gabashvili, who also contributed. A large team, we played almost all the matches of different composition. . Not only the four Kravchuk: I in 1994, first came to the final of the Davis Cup Russia-Sweden in Moscow. I sat a little, watched the play Wolves Kafelnikov. The following year, we played with the US, and I was sitting in the aisle in the "Olympic" because it was scored, all tiers - came to us Sampras and Courier. Even then I had a dream to join the team, to feel those emotions, what it is - to play for Russia. And now we come to the World Group.
