CINCINNATI, OHIO
R. FEDERER/D. Ferrer
6‑3, 1‑6, 6‑2
THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.
Q. Congratulations on a solid week of play this week.
DAVID FERRER: Thank you.
Q. You really started to turn things around in the second set. Held off a number of break points and then played an exceptional second set. What was working for you in the second set?
DAVID FERRER: I think I did a first good set also. Was I just did two double faults. After that, I had three or four balls for break with 5‑3.
I didn't make it, and, well, I think the first and second set I did a good game, good match.
The third set he serve unbelievable. You know, he play really good and was a little bit tired.
But anyway, with Roger it's difficult, no? I need to play very consistent all the match.
Q. Do you think playing back‑to‑back 1000s as opposed to a major where you've got some rest ‑‑ I know it's best of five, but you have some extra days of rest. Canada and then here was a very tough field playing every day.
DAVID FERRER: Yes, I think both matches I play good. In Toronto I had a good match and also here. Anyway, Roger, he was better, but I was close. I think so.
I am happy with my game these two weeks. I did quarterfinal, final, so now I want to rest few days and will be in these conditions at the US Open.
Q. Are you feeling confident going into the US Open then?
DAVID FERRER: Yeah, of course I am with confidence. I did quarterfinal in Toronto and final here playing well every day. I was playing better. Well, of course in US Open is going to be best‑of‑five sets and the balls and the conditions will be different.
But I am happy with myself.
Q. You won a set from him last week; another today. As you mentioned, you played a very good first set as well. You feel much closer to finally being able to get him?
DAVID FERRER: In US Open?
Q. No, the next time you play him.
DAVID FERRER: Well, the next time I don't know. I will try to do my best always and I will try to play similar like today or in Toronto for beat him.
But with Roger, Rafael, and Novak Djokovic, sometimes not the depends of me; depends of them.
