THE MODERATOR: Rafael at 18 years 10 months, the youngest player to reach
the final here in the tournament's 21-year history. He is looking to become
the first Spanish player to win the tournament as well on Sunday.
Questions for Rafael.
Q. What do you call your pants? Are they pedal-pushers?
RAFAEL NADAL: No, it's okay. I like the shorts. It's comfortable. It's okay.
I gonna play with the shorts all year, no.
Q. What do you call them?
RAFAEL NADAL: Pirates.
Q. You've won 15 matches in a row. You're coming off two straight titles.
How confident are you that you're on top of your game right now going into
the championship here?
RAFAEL NADAL: Yeah, I was play very good in South America. I think won the
last tournaments is important for my confidence, no?
Here, I begin the tournament, the first matches, a little bit nervous against
Schuettler. The second match is not easy against Verdasco. He was play very
good the first match against Roddick. I only try play my best tennis and fight
every match.
I am very happy with my tennis, no, because I am improve every day. I think
today is not my best match, but against Ljubicic and Johansson, especially,
I play very, very good match.
Q. In Copa Davis, why did you not play singles?
RAFAEL NADAL: I don't know. In Copa Davis I think is good decision for the
captain. Verdasco, he was playing very, very good here in indoor carpet.
And for me, is, well (completed answer in Spanish)...
Q. Will you at all, if it is Federer in the final, be thinking back to that
evening last year here?
RAFAEL NADAL: No, I think every match is different. And this is I have
another year. I have 19 now...
Q. 18 (laughter).
RAFAEL NADAL: No, I have 18 now (laughing).(XD)
Last year I have 17. I really think I play one of my best matches. I think I
improve in my shots and my serve. But the last year against Federer, I play
one of my best matches in my career, no? I play unbelievable, and I really
hope I play the same match this year...
TRANSLATOR: To play as well as he did last year, but also with improvements.
Q. Many players, when they play Federer, are intimidated, think that even
when they go out on court.
RAFAEL NADAL: Normally, no? Federer won all matches. I hope Federer don't
play one of his best matches. And if he don't play very, very well, and I
play one of my best matches, I think I have a little bit chance, no, in case
Federer win.
Q. So last year you played one of your best matches, but he didn't play one
of his?
RAFAEL NADAL: No, I think he don't play good match last year, no, because he
was the No. 1 and he is the No. 1. And if he play very good, and I play very
good, he won (smiling).
