00:00Well, Francesco, we'll start with your own personal performance today.

00:03Two matches, two points, playing with Nicolai.

00:07Fantastic to get those points on the board.

00:09Yes, we had an amazing day, the two of us.

00:13Yes, we really gelled.

00:15I didn't really know him much before this week.

00:17We played together, I think, once at the Italian Open last year.

00:21Obviously, he got in the team sort of last minute, but he's been absolutely amazing.

00:27We had a great time out there, enjoying ourselves, having fun, hitting some good golf shots.

00:34So, an amazing day for the two of us.

00:37Both matches seem to ebb and flow between both sides as well out there.

00:41Yes, I think that all the matches have been really close so far, which is great to see.

00:47There's definitely a really competitive but fair spirit.

00:51So, I think it's been a great success so far.

00:55Obviously, to make it a success for us, for my team, we need to go out tomorrow and play some really good golf.

01:04Obviously, it all can change in the singles.

01:05You've only got yourself to rely on as such.

01:08How much are you looking forward to taking on that challenge yourself?

01:12Yes, it's going to be different.

01:13Obviously, I think all of us are going to miss our teammates out there a little bit.

01:18But, on the other hand, next week we're back to stroke play, four rounds.

01:23So, I think it's a good way to transition back into being a bit more individualistic and just try to win or half your game.

01:35You mentioned all the matches have been quite close.

01:37There's been times today where your team's been quite far behind.

01:40You might not have seen that, obviously, being on the course.

01:42But how proud are you of their fight back today?

01:46Yes, very, very.

01:46I mean, I was looking at the boards and, yes, sometimes I saw a bit more grey than I would have liked.

01:53But, yes, no, they've been amazing.

01:58I think that the grit, the commitment that they've shown since they got here on Monday and Tuesday,

02:03you know, practising and going through all the right processes, they've been amazing.

02:10So, I'm having a great time and, obviously, we're wanting to go out tomorrow and hopefully get the job done.

02:20You'll have a two-point lead going into tomorrow.

02:22What will be the key message overnight for your team?

02:25Well, that we need to win tomorrow's session.

02:28You know, we've done a great job winning two sessions out of three and halving the other one.

02:35So, we need to go out and win the session.

02:38You know, two points is nothing.

02:39We've been, obviously, in situations where much bigger margins were eroded.

02:46But, you know, I've got full trust and confidence in all the other nine guys.

02:52So, looking forward to the challenge of tomorrow.
