March 17, 2006
INDIAN WELLS, CALIFORNIA
THE MODERATOR: Questions for Marcos, please.
Q. What seemed to happen towards the end of the first set? What turned it around?
MARCOS BAGHDATIS: First set, I mean, we both played great tennis. I got broken at 3-All, I think. Was 3-All or 3-2? I don't remember. I got broken being 40-15 up, made some not mistakes, but didn't finish it off, so that paid. Then I got broken again at 6-5, 30-Love up.
Nadal got confident in the second set. He wasn't missing a ball. He was playing great tennis. Too good for me today. That's it.
Q. If you had to say there's a major difference between his play and your play, what is his strengths versus your strengths?
MARCOS BAGHDATIS: I don't know. I don't really know. It's the first time I play against him. It was a good lesson for me to see how he plays and stuff. He has a great forehand, great backhand. He has every shot. He's a great athlete.
I mean, physically he's amazing. It was a good lesson for me today. I think I know what to work on now more. Not work on more but, I mean, I saw how he's playing, I know now his game, so next time I play him I will have maybe a tactic to play against him. That's all. That's a good experience for me today.
I didn't play so bad. Like I said, he was too good for me today.
Q. Do you have any words for your Greek fans?
MARCOS BAGHDATIS: Any words for my Greek fans? Thanks for coming. I mean, I'll keep fighting for my country. We have an important Davis Cup match in two weeks. I'll be there. I hope they will be there. I heard a lot of them are coming. I want to tell them that I'll do everything for my country to go up.
