[馬德里名人賽] Robredo lost to Nadal 賽後訪問
PRESS CONFERENCE OF TOMMY ROBREDO
Thursday, 20th of October, 2005
Q. What do you think you should have done to win the match?
Well, it's difficult to defeat Rafa any day. I think I played a good match.
But to defeat Rafa, you need to really be in good form, because he makes no
errors. Five or six balls I played well, but I forced too much my play.
That made me make errors. It's a pity, second set, we were at deuce. That
could have changed the match. Then he made a quick break. That was the key
of the match. Rafa usually makes you play to the limit. You can play that
way for a few minutes, but not constantly. That makes you lose the match.
Q. Do you see Rafa as the favourite of the tournament?
Of course, the first seed of the tournament is always the favorite,
especially if you're Rafa or Federer who are playing such good tennis this
year. Logically they're favourites. But everyone is playing well. Any player
can win the tournament. In a tournament like this, you must expect surprises.
Maybe Rafa is really wishing to win here in Madrid. That might be a problem
for him. Yesterday he played well. Today, too. He has many opportunities of
winning the match.
Q. Did you feel the crowd support today in Madrid?
I think the crowd always supports me, they support the tennis players here
in Madrid. They did last year. This year they're doing it, too. It's a
pleasure to be here in Madrid. The crowd is always supporting us. In
Catalonia, I always tell me friends that no one there stops me in the street
to tell me anything. But when I come here to Madrid, people know me. People
say hello to me. People in Madrid are very welcoming, like stars of sports.
I'm one of those. So I feel their support. It's a pleasure to be here and
feel their warmth. .
Q. Did you feel comfortable today with Nadal, more comfortable than yesterday
against Moya?
You cannot compare because Moya has his own weapons and Rafa has his weapons.
Carlos allows you to play more when you serve. On the other hand, Rafa is
more uncomfortable to play against because he hits the ball with a strange
effect, and it's difficult to control the ball. Medium speed is higher in
the case of Rafa. You need to be focused because sometimes the ball goes out.
This doesn't happen with Carlos. Yesterday I felt comfortable. Today, too.
But a match is lost because of the small details. I had the chance, but the
second set I lost it. For instance, if you face a player like Rafa that gives
you so few chances, if you don't grab them, the match is lost.
Q. Do you feel like playing the Davis Cup or do you think you have the door
open to the Davis Cup, even if it doesn't depend on you?
If they call me, I'll be there. I'll be willing to be there, of course.
Q. What is your opinion on this controversial subject about the appointment
of Emilio Sanchez as a captain instead of Albert?
I keep my opinion to myself. I don't like to see on the newspapers that the
player criticizes another player or a captain or a president.
Q. And about Emilio?
Any captain must be respected by the rest of us. I think Emilio is a very
qualified person for this role. Anything Emilio says I'll respect it and
try to give my best as I've done with other captains.
