Juan Carlos Ferrero

THE MODERATOR: Questions in English, please.

JUAN CARLO FERRERO: Nothing special. I stop one week, five days, then I start to practice on grass, one court is synthetic grass, it's not like the same. Is different but is similar. So I come here with only one week with practice in grass, so I feel all right for the moment.

JUAN CARLO FERRERO: Yes.

JUAN CARLO FERRERO: Yes. I think two years ago in US Open, two years ago.

JUAN CARLO FERRERO: Yeah, I think so. I lost in fourth set, yeah.

JUAN CARLO FERRERO: Yeah.

JUAN CARLO FERRERO: I don't know. He's in house, you know, and he's playing good. He has very good service here in grass. It's very fast. And, I don't know, I have my chance because I am playing good with my serve and with the base of the line. You know, is different games. He goes to the net all the time and I'm in the baseline. When I can go to the net, I will go. So I think I have some chance.

JUAN CARLO FERRERO: Today, I saw him only in his first set against Black. I saw he was playing good also in the base of the line. So he was very good today, and I think is not all his service. He can't win all the matches only with the serve.

JUAN CARLO FERRERO: Yes. You know, the first day only I thinking to enjoy the play on grass. So right now, I won two matches, so I enjoy the grass, you know. (Laughing.)

JUAN CARLO FERRERO: I like, yeah. I wish.

JUAN CARLO FERRERO: I know. Is in house, is normal, no? There is some Spanish people, and I have to give the tickets to everybody for to go to the centre to say, "Come on."
