Juan Carlos Ferrero

THE MODERATOR: Questions in English.

JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: Well, I think I didn't play bad at all. You know, I was in the match all the time, you know. I didn't go anywhere. I was focused all the time. You know, first and second, I did maybe some present to him with the first service that he broke me. But in the second, I was good. But he played really well. In the third, I had chances to win. I had some breakpoints. I think I play well. I had chance to win. But is his surface. When the match is so close, he plays so good. Finally he plays better than me the last two points.

JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: I think he's play with a lot of confidence. When the matches are so close, he play at the same level all the time, no mistakes, no important mistakes in important points. So, you know, he holds the concentrate all the time. I think is very important.

JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: I don't know. Here on grass is very difficult to say a tactic. Gonzalez, he has really good serves. If he holds, you know, he has to go to the tiebreak and try to win.

JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: Maybe, yes. But the court, I feel it the same as the other courts. I didn't felt slower than the other ones. Anyways, I play in Court 3, Court 2 and Court 1, and I didn't feel any difference from the Centre Court. But, of course, if is slow the court, it helps a little bit to the players that can play here.

JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: I'm not disappointed because at the end of the match I wanted to win that tiebreak because I felt really good in the court playing against Roger, playing in Centre Court. So I think I played a good tennis today. But maybe I had to take some of that chances that I had. That's the difference.

JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: Yeah, of course, I can play really good on grass. I think I show it in this tournament. I played great matches here. I played great today. So I cannot do any more.

JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: Yeah, yeah. I felt very fit on the court.
