How did you play today? How did you get out of losing the third set 6--Love, and then you came back very strongly? RAFAEL NADAL: Yeah, I play very well the first two sets. With the forehand I play very, very well. And after, in the third set, he begin 2--Love, 3-- Love, and I can't fight every set because my physic is not for the five sets, no. And I stop. In the third set I lost 6--Love. And after, I come back in the fourth set very well, 4--0 -- no, 4--1. And after, the same of Miami , no? I'm a little bit scared because is the same situation. But finally I can won 7--5. Q. He played a lot of dropshots, but you read them very well. Was it very tough to get to them all the time? RAFAEL NADAL: Yeah, he have the dropshot very, very well. I think is the best in the world. But, you know, he won lot of points with that. But I can won some very important points, no ? last one, for example (smiling). Q. Do you think the experience that you had playing Federer in Miami helped you today when he came back? RAFAEL NADAL: Yeah, I am sure. Because I know what happen in Miami against Federer , and today I am very, very concentrate. I am very concentrate all the time. When I lost 4--1, 4--4 in the fourth, I am lot of concentration for win the match, no. And in Miami , the same.

I only think about the next tournaments: Barcelona , Rome , Hamburg now, you know. I am playing good now, but I don't know when is in the French Open I gonna play good or I gonna play bad. If I play the same like this, I can won, I can do a good result. Not favorite, but I can do good result. But I don't know, is after one month. Q. Don't you think that you should skip one of the following tournaments, either Barcelona , Rome , Hamburg , in order to be fit in Roland Garros , or you can be too tired? RAFAEL NADAL: No, no. So I play the final in Miami , I play the final here. That's normal for me, no. I can think that. But I have Barcelona , I stop one week, and this is important for me.

RAFAEL NADAL: Yeah, for the Grand Slam is a good preparation. But I know -- I think when the tournament is all tournament in three sets, I think is better the final in three sets, too, no? But the rules is that. Q. It's good to get the feel of playing the five -set matches, like Davis Cup , as well? RAFAEL NADAL: Yeah, yeah, yeah, as well. I play some matches, lot of matches, tough matches in Davis Cup final, in Australia against Hewitt , against Youzhny , in Miami against Federer . I play some matches tough and is important. Sometimes I won, sometimes I lost, but I play good these matches. Q. You proved that you've got the energy and the concentration for it, for the five sets. RAFAEL NADAL: Yes, I don't know, no? Sometimes yes; sometimes no. But I am happy for today. I don't think any more. Q. What was the key to your game? RAFAEL NADAL: I don't miss a lot of balls... (very few unforced errors.) And that's very important for play good in clay, no? I am very happy with my forehand, with my backhand. And with the serve, I serve bad the first day. I serve -- and after the first day, I improve my serve. I serve better every day. I want to practice after first match, and I am happy because I improve around the tournament. Q. Do you practice weightlifting and training? RAFAEL NADAL: Sometimes. But now when I am in the tournaments, I can't. If I lost and I have five days with coach, sometimes. But nothing special, no. Not a lot. Q. Is there a difference between the right and left biceps? RAFAEL NADAL: Not a lot of difference (smiling). -- Soulmates never die -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.139.230.206
