6?1, 6?2
An interview with:
RAFAEL NADAL
THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.
Q. It was hard to believe that you nearly lost to him last time. What was
so different this time? Was it because it was a different surface? Were you
very different?
RAFAEL NADAL: Is different situation of the year, no? In Brazil, I was
playing good, but I don't have this confidence, no? And he play in his
country. He was play very good match. I don't play the same. I play a lot
of better today, so much better today. And, I don't know, I remember this
match, lot of public support him.
I think today is all different. I think I improve in my game, no?
Q. You're improving confidence and also getting better on the faster
surfaces?
RAFAEL NADAL: I think I don't play bad in fast. In indoor, I don't have
a good results. But in hard court, I was play good in Australia, fourth
round; in Miami, final. That's a very good result, no? If I am playing well,
I can play good in this surface.
Q. How often have you played under lights? Do you mind playing under lights?
RAFAEL NADAL: No, I play lot of times in night. No, yesterday is a little
bit difficult in the doubles. I don't see very well. But I think yesterday
because I am a little bit tired. Today I feel better. Is different situation.
Yesterday I play very tough match single. Today the single is different. The
light is very good.
Q. A lot of players have talked about adjusting to the fast court and the
balls. Did you find it more comfortable today than the last round?
RAFAEL NADAL: Yeah, I think is a little bit fast, the court. Is a little
bit fast than Miami and Indian Wells. US Open, too, I think is a little
fast this one.
But we can play on this court, no? I feel good. I am playing good. I was
practicing very well the first days here. I play a very tough match yesterday,
a good match. That's important for my confidence. Today, I play with a lot
of confidence. All the time a lot of concentrating, no?
Q. When you played Carlos yesterday, you said your personality didn't
really come out. Did it come out tonight?
RAFAEL NADAL: Yes, I think is normal.
Q. You seem like you are more relaxed.
RAFAEL NADAL: I win a little bit 6-1, 6-2.
Q. Andy Roddick said it was important to play with the same balls in each
tournament leading up to a Grand Slam. I think possibly Andre Agassi agrees,
although he didn't say so. Greg Rusedski said a players union should be
formed.
RAFAEL NADAL: Yeah, because in the US Open I think we play with Wilson.
But in all Masters Series, I think ATP have contract with sponsor is Penn,
so we play all Masters Series with the same, PennATP. So we know that.
Before the Grand Slam, before the US Open, I think we have New Haven. New
Haven I think is the same balls maybe, is Wilson. In the Masters Series, we
always play with Penn. I think is better play with the same ball, but that's
what it is.
Q. But it doesn't always happen. Last week they played with a different
ball from this week.
RAFAEL NADAL: Yeah, but that's the life. We play all year with different
balls. I play in Bastad with one ball. I go to Stuttgart next week with
different balls. We know that. We need to play with that.
Q. How do you control them, because you use so much spin?
RAFAEL NADAL: Yeah. Some balls is a little (changing to Spanish) ??
ATP: Some balls are more favorable and suit some type of games better
than others.
RAFAEL NADAL: I think the Penn is good ball for the topspin players.
Q. You're playing Grosjean next week. How do you feel about it?
RAFAEL NADAL: Yeah, I know is very difficult match. He's a very good player.
He play very good in this surface, no? This surface a little bit fast, and
that's better for him. And he play a very, very good match for win, no?
But I going to try. Is very important match. If I get the victory, I stay
in quarterfinal. Quarterfinal in Masters Series in hard is very good
tournament for me, no? I hope play my best tomorrow, no? I know is very
difficult match.
