April 23, 2017
Monte Carlo, Monaco
R. NADAL/A. Ramos-Vinolas
6-1, 6-3
THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.
Q. No way? Nothing to do today?
ALBERT RAMOS-VINOLAS: Yeah, well, probably nothing to do, no? I think that he was a little bit better in everything. When he's a little bit better in everything, the difference after, it's what we saw in the match.
I think also I didn't serve good. To be honest, I think he served really good today. Last time I played against him, I felt that on the return it was my chance to put some pressure. But today I felt that he was serving so good.
Q. Seems to be a little bit bad in the second set.
ALBERT RAMOS-VINOLAS: Yeah, it's not easy to play a final, to play against Rafa Nadal, to play with no sun today. I think he's a little bit better in everything. He has a little bit more power than me in the game. Also I think the cloud today didn't help me.
Obviously I think that with sun, probably I was losing also, but maybe it was a little bit different. I don't know. But today, to play a final against him, it's not easy.
Q. You played twice against him before. Do you see any differences in the way he plays?
ALBERT RAMOS-VINOLAS: I'm not inside him. But I think he's playing really good. Not his best tennis, but he's probably in a good level. He beat some matches easy, not just the final. It means that he's playing good.
I played three matches in a row three sets. I was probably a little bit tired. If I'm not in my hundred percent of my physical condition, it's impossible to compete against a player who plays with this kind of rhythm.
Q. You'll come away from Monte-Carlo with nice feelings?
ALBERT RAMOS-VINOLAS: Obviously, no? Nobody likes to lose. Nobody likes to play a final and to lose 6-1, 6-3.
But I know how it is, no? I know that I have another tournament. I have to keep going. I will try to have my feedback with the good things that I did this week.
Obviously it is the week that I did my best result. Not today, but maybe tomorrow I will be proud of myself, and I will restart again for the next tournament.
Q. It was a very positive week. Zeljko Franulovic said this morning you were the real surprise of the tournament.
ALBERT RAMOS-VINOLAS: Yeah, it's true. But, you know, tennis it's like this. You have some days things you didn't expect, then you come back to the reality. Today he put me back to my reality.
Now I have to do - how you say in English - a summary of all the week, keep with the good things that I did, try to improve the things that I can improve.
Q. You had a very nice tournament, so do you think you can stay at this level? What are the things you have to work on to better yourself?
ALBERT RAMOS-VINOLAS: That's what I have to do during today and tomorrow, the summary, to know exactly what I did good and what can I improve.
For sure everybody, not just me, can improve lot of things. I cannot tell you exactly what to improve now. I can tell you today I didn't serve good. Obviously my serve is not my best shot, but I think I served a little bit in the less condition than normally.
Now I have to think what can I improve, what I'm keep doing good to improve on this way.
