TELECOM MASTERS ITALIAMay 7, 2005David FerrerROME, ITALY THE MODERATOR: Questions, please. Q. Nadal said for the first two sets you were the better player. Do you agree with that? DAVID FERRER: Yes, but in the end I lost. Q. So the explanation for that? DAVID FERRER: In the first two sets I felt I was controlling the match, I was in charge. But then towards the end of the second set I had a little doubt in my mind, and that was the key of the match; that's when it turned around. Q. So it's a mental problem? DAVID FERRER: No, no, mental, no. Yesterday I came back from four matchpoints down to win, and today I came back when he had the first two matchpoints. So I almost won again today. It's not mental. I mean, all players sometimes are scared of winning. Q. You said yesterday that Nadal is like a gladiator. Today there were two gladiators; you were also a fighter, too. DAVID FERRER: Yes, I have to be a gladiator on court. I'm not going to win matches with my serve, so I have to play that way. I have to be a gladiator in my life. Q. Today you showed that you are close to Nadal, and Nadal is a big favorite for Roland Garros, so you should have ambitions for Roland Garros. DAVID FERRER: Yes, I mean, it's a good moment for me right now. You just have to wait and play each match and take one match at a time. Rafael, obviously, I mean, the results show that he is the favorite. Roland Garros, anything can happen really. I mean, I wish that Rafael or another Spanish tennis player could give our country a lot of joy by winning. Q. You believe you can do the job yourself? DAVID FERRER: Yes, yes, certainly. One Spanish player - and if it's me, then better (smiling). End of FastScripts…. |
