Pierre-Hugues Herbert (FRA): "I have the feeling that it has been extremely fast, especially for me and Nico (Nicolas Mahut, Editor's note): we arrived extremely late (after winning Sunday the Masters doubles in London) The two matches were quickly chained and it is certain that in the old formula we spent more time together, it was a week and a half, we had time to prepare for the meetings, so, obviously, extremely disappointed not to not having beaten Serbia and not enjoying the team and the staff, we have had very good results in the last years, this year we played Serbia with Djokovic, it's not the same thing There was no calculation to be done, you had to win at least two points and you did not manage to do it, I had a lot of emotions about the first match against Japan. objectively not many people in the stands but, with the team, we went to the end of ourselves to try to win this point from double to one everywhere. This is obviously different from what I experienced when we played at home a Davis Cup final. After, who knows ... if we had qualified until the final and we had played Spain, we would have experienced this kind of emotions. "
