Start of Transcribed Interview
R. NADAL/P. Kohlschreiber 7-5, 6-3, 4-6, 6-2
Q. Could you tell us where you got hit with those two balls, how badly it
hurt. When Kohlschreiber hit you at the net with those two balls, where did
it hit and badly did it hurt?
The first one there in the finger. The other one I touch with the racquet.
The first one I understand hundred percent fine. You are in the net, you want
to win the point. But the second one is a little bit struggling because he
has all court for him, no? But it's fine.
Q. Where did the second one hit you?
No, no. In the racquet.
Q. On the racquet?
Yes. For very good luck on the racquet. For nothing put me in one eye,
something, in the face.
Q. It was a good fight. Did you like it?
Yeah, I am happy with this match, no? Was very important for me. Is very good
test because I finish the match very good physically. The first set I play
very good tennis, too.
Kohlschreiber play a good match. Was playing great tennis. I just play bad
maybe the final of third set, no? I serve bad. I play without confidence with
my serve and with my forehand and backhand. I miss a lot.
But it's fine, no? After I come back very well with very good attitude. I am
very happy for that, no? I feel faster on court than the other days, no?
Today I feel the faster day when I start this season, no? I am happy. Maybe I
improve my tennis here. I feel better here than Shanghai right now. I have
good confidence next round.
(很有信心積極正面的一段！加油加油:D)
Q. Were you surprised by the way he played?
No, I know every match is tough. You could see, Roddick was losing two sets
to love against Tsonga. Safin two sets to one. When you are at the hotel and
you saw the TV, when you go on court, you think, I going to have a difficult
match, too.
Q. Does it give you confidence that you don't play your best and you still
win?
Well, that's very important, no? Is very important win when you're not
playing the best because that's a good point. That give me very good
confidence. But I am happy with my game today. I feel better. Maybe is the
first match in the year when I feel better, I feel good in some moments, no?
So that's very important. I am trying every day to get my hundred percent.
But I am fine. I improving every day, so that's very important for me.
Q. Do you feel like you need to improve in your service games?
He was returning the ball very well. He was returning very well. But I won
the first set with one break. I play bad this break, no? I miss some balls.
But after he play good. In the third set, he has very good points when I was
serving. Sometimes is not easy, no? But, well, I need continuing improve my
serve always. And sometimes the problem is not just in the serve. You have
one player in front. You have to compete against him. He can return very
well. Sometimes you need more luck than the other.
Q. Do you expect a more difficult task in the next round?
Well, every match is very difficult, no? You never know what's happening the
next round. He is a very good player. He play very aggressive all the time.
He play very fast. We will see. Going to have a difficult match. I need play
my best for win, no? But I feel better every day and I will try.
Q. What do you know about him? Never played him?
I think I never play against him. He's a good player. I saw him lot of time
on the tournaments. I know he has very good backhand. He play very good all
the time, touching the ball very hard.
Q. Fans were very loud. Did the Spanish fans help you or did the German fans
bother you at all?
Everything is fine, no? The atmosphere was fine. Always here I play good
matches here against Hewitt against one Australian. The people here is very
nice, respectful with the game. Was nice. The German, the Spanish, so
everything fine.
