po meczu z tsonga.
Q. Obviously you're not very happy. What happened to your game out there tonight?

RAFAEL NADAL: Nothing.


Q. Nothing?

RAFAEL NADAL: I don't think so, no? We have to accept today. He played unbelievable. Playing very hard the ball every time, serving unbelievable. Sometimes he miss. In the backhand he didn't miss not one. Forehand, every time he does the forehand was winner, so congratulate him. That's it.


Q. You never seemed to be able to get into your rhythm.

RAFAEL NADAL: No, I was in rhythm, no? But the true is I don't have chances in this match. I was playing fine, but, well, you can say me ‑‑ ask me some more things, but the true is that's my feelings right now, no? He play better than me. I have to accept that. That's it. Continuing improve.

But, anyway, play like in this level like he play, this guy play this way tonight, very difficult to stop.


Q. You played Federer maybe 14 times. Has Federer ever played better against you than Jo‑Wilfried did tonight?

RAFAEL NADAL: Federer is Federer, no? He can play at this level or little bit better, but better than tonight is really difficult. It's tough say. Difficult to compare. Is different the styles, but Tsonga tonight was unbelievable.

Some volleys, I can't believe some volleys. I have some good passing shots and then dropshot volley. I didn't understand, no? So nothing. Nothing was more, no? It's difficult to say a lot of things about this match because I say it, no? He play better than me, and for that reason he beat me.

I try to play my best; I tried to play little bit slower; I tried to play a little bit faster; I tried to play more inside the court; behind the court. No chance. Not today. Maybe next time.


Q. In the break volley, did you think it was the turning point at that point?

RAFAEL NADAL: Better be 2‑0 than 1‑1 in the third, no? The true is he was playing unbelievable. Well, if I had this break maybe he can feel a little bit more the pression for be in Grand Slam final.

But, well, this point is, there's no explanation of how he's playing, this guy, no? I play a very good point, good passing shot. I arrive to the dropshot. Very good shot to the ball. Touch the ball shit, very bad, and the ball was very close on to the line, no? No chance.


Q. So you mean it was lucky sometimes? He was lucky sometimes on some shots?

RAFAEL NADAL: No, come on. I didn't say nothing about that, no? I said he play very, very good and he's not lucky, no. Not lucky when he beat Murray, when he beat Gasquet, when he beat Youzhny. It's not lucky.

It's a lot of times playing very well in this tournament. We will see when the year is coming, but in this tournament, nothing to say.


Q. Can he beat Roger? If Roger gets through, can he beat?

RAFAEL NADAL: I think he gonna feel the pression in first Grand Slam final. Roger or Djokovic, if he play like today he have his chances against both, but I think he going to feel the pression for the final, no?


Q. Were you amazed that he didn't feel more pressure out there tonight, even in a semifinal?

RAFAEL NADAL: It's very different. It's very different play final than win a very important title. For my opinion it's totally different.


Q. What did the umpire have to say? There was a change of ends and the umpire was speaking to you. What was that all about?

RAFAEL NADAL: Nothing. No, nothing important. He say me, (In Spanish)...

BENITO PEREZ: Like if he's faking the serve, you know? Like faking the serve and then serving. He said that Tsonga said he was sort of faking the serve and then he was serving, not doing the whole movement. You know what I mean? Very strange thing. It had no sense. He said Tsonga told him, but he didn't argue too much.


Q. Until you ran into Jo tonight, did you feel you were playing well enough to win this tournament?

RAFAEL NADAL: Yes, I think so. I was playing very fine, very good, but not for beat Tsonga tonight.


Q. When you played him at the US Open, could you see the kind of game he could bring like he did tonight back then a few months ago?

RAFAEL NADAL: Well, we have to think, no? Difficult right now he is in the best moment of his career. He's playing with zero pression. He's playing ‑‑ everything is going good for him.

So when you are playing like this every ball is going to the line. Every ball is going inside. Is not the real level I think. Is not his real level. Sure, he can play like this, but not every week. It's impossible, no? Right now he's ‑‑ what's his ranking now?


Q. 38.

RAFAEL NADAL: What do you think? This level he can be 38 never, no?


Q. Maybe that's the not real level of his game. He's been hurt a lot.

RAFAEL NADAL: He's improving. He improve a lot. But the true is I think he can't play at this level every time, no? Running unbelievable, physically very explosive, everything. What I can say? Nothing bad about his game tonight. I have to find something. I gonna think all the night, no?

new! bardzo fajny Very Happy

Q. Is that the sort of match you needed at this stage of the tournament?

RAFAEL NADAL: Well, maybe I wasn't play my best match, my best tennis today, but it was enough. I'm happy about the victory. I didn't play bad.

I played very good with my forehand, I think. I touched the ball when I have time, touched the ball perfect every time. Well, the rest, little bit worse than the last match, the serve and the backhand.

That's Points to improve on this match if I want chances for win.


Q. Do you believe overall you are playing your best hardcourt tennis?

RAFAEL NADAL: I don't think, no? I am playing well. I'm playing good tennis, good level, but last year I played very good level in many tournaments. In Indian Wells I played very well, I think. Similar, little bit better than here.

I don't know, some more tournaments. But last year I played very nice tournaments on hardcourt, no? Anyway, it a good moment for me. Be the first semifinals on hardcourt, Grand Slam, and so it's very important for me. I'm happy to because I am here without losing a set. That's always an important point.


Q. Does this surface suit your game more?

RAFAEL NADAL: I don't know. No, I think when I am playing fine, when I am playing well, I can play well in all surfaces, no? It's not new play good in hardcourt. I had some quarterfinals, but didn't have semifinals yet in Grand Slam. I say before, I play very good tournaments.

So happy, because always is important cross the quarterfinals. I play it in here and in United States, US Open. So closest, this round, is very important for me.

I right now try my best for being in this final, no? If I'm in the final on Sunday, going to be a dream for me here, no, start the season like this. I'm very happy about my start here, playing the final in Chennai and being in the semifinals here. It's better than I thought.


Q. You saved nine set points in the first set since the beginning of the tournament. How important is it to win the first set to enter in the match?

RAFAEL NADAL: Well, for sure it's very important, save set points in the first set, especially because if you save set points, go a little bit more down later, no? But I think I'm playing well in important moments, I'm playing fine.

Serving with good position in this moments. And I'm happy because I save some important moments this week.


Q. What can you say about Jarkko as a tennis player and a person?

RAFAEL NADAL: Very, very nice guy. Very good person, I'm sure. He never has any problem with nobody, so I have very good relation with him. I think he's perfect person and he's very good player, very complete player, only a little bit second serve.

But for the rest, he has all the shots, no? He can do backhand, very good backhand, good forehand, very fast on court. So he can do very well. For the last years, he's in the very good position in the ranking.


Q. How does your body feel compared to last year at the US Open and hardcourts?

RAFAEL NADAL: My body is perfect, no? (laughter) Physically speaking. Nothing perfect.


Q. At the US Open last year you were struggling a bit at the end. Is it much better now?

RAFAEL NADAL: Sure, no? Last year I played ‑‑ second of the tour who played more matches, and they only had the problem at the US Open. So it was a very, very good year for me, physically speaking. And this year I start very well, no? I don't have any problems at US Open and I'm in semifinals without losing a set.

Always help a little bit because would be more fresh in the slams, no? But physically I'm very happy, no? I don't have any problem.


Q. Will you watch the other quarterfinal tonight?

RAFAEL NADAL: Sure. I'm going to watch a little bit in the hotel. Relax. Go little bit to the swimming pool. Rest.


Q. Do you have to tell yourself on court to play aggressively on hardcourts, or is it coming more naturally to you now?

RAFAEL NADAL: I have to continue to play more aggressive, no? I ‑‑ I need start good the matches, like the match before against Mathieu, no? More aggressive, trying to go inside the court and trying to do the point with the forehand.

Because I am touching perfect the forehand. So sometimes I play like this with my forehand, so it's easy to understand I'm a little bit more behind. But right now I have to go inside because I am touching very good the ball with the forehand, and I have to do for this in the semifinals if I want to win.

And for sure everybody tell me you have to play more aggressive in hardcourt. You have to serve better. I am trying. I am working very hard always. This is what I do in practice. When I say a lot, it's a lot.

Well, with my uncle ‑‑ well, sure, my uncle always repeat me the same: Go inside. Don't lose court. Don't go behind the line. I'm working very hard on this.


Q. So you think this would be a good season, or this season, for you to win an Open rather than Roland Garros in one of the other surface? If this season, 2008 will be the season where we see Rafael Nadal to win an Open than the Roland Garros one?

RAFAEL NADAL: Well, I am semifinals right now, no? I don't want to think about that, because winning Grand Slam is very difficult. In grass, in clay, everything difficult in Grand Slam. This year I gonna try my best, but the same like every year. Not like this year is the year.

Last year I try my best. This year I gonna try my best another time. If it's better. This year I start better than last year. If not this year, next year, next year, next year. I gonna try my best all the career for try to win Grand Slam outside of clay.


Q. A lot of your opponents are stepping into the court taking time away from you. Tsonga and Youzhny both have that game plan, as well. How are you going to try to overcome that?

RAFAEL NADAL: Can you repeat?


Q. Simon and even, say, Nieminen was stepping into the court, sort of taking time away from you. Tsonga and Youzhny can sort of play that similar sort of game. How are you going to overcome that? What are your thoughts?

RAFAEL NADAL: Well, everybody can do it, because every player tries to go inside the court, try to play aggressive against me. Because the people knows if we play long point from the baseline, I have bit more chances. But the people try to go inside the court.

Youzhny is a difficult player for me to play against him. I lost some times against him. The final of Chennai doesn't count. It's not in my mind, this one, because I can't play, no?

But the last times, yes. He beat me in Dubai last year, in the US Open 2006. And I beat him, yeah, sometimes too. In Wimbledon, in Bercy at the end of the season.

So always it's a very tough match against him. He play very aggressive, he go inside the court and he's playing very well, no?

And Tsonga the same: Big serve, very aggressive player. Everybody can do it, no? The thing is try to play like this. I have to play aggressive if I want to win the semifinals, aggressive and good.


Q. This might be the first time that you've reached a semifinal at a Grand Slam, and you haven't played so many hours on court. Can you talk about that and whether that's a very good thing for you?

RAFAEL NADAL: Not about experience. It's better than usually. I always play a lot of time on court. This year, no one match more than two hours and a half, I think. So it's very good for me. That's a very good thing about my game, no?

Sure, I have little bit luck against Mathieu, but the rest of the matches is a good move. Play not more than two hours and a half.

Q. Can you remember the last time you had to save six set points in the first set of a match?

RAFAEL NADAL: No. Match points, yes. Two weeks ago. You said points, too. Against Moya, maybe four. Similar.


Q. Did you just feel that you started very slowly today?

RAFAEL NADAL: Yeah. I know normally I start very hard. And today, well, I really don't know. I start the match without very good tactic, I think, no?

I don't know exactly in English, but I start the match watching the rival, not worried about me, trying to do my game, trying to play aggressive with my forehand. So that's what I have to do, no, not watch in the other side what's going on, no?

I thought he start ‑‑ he will start a little bit more slowly. Well, with the ball not very high to his forehand, he will miss a little bit. But really he don't miss. He play forehand return winners, so...

Thank you David Ferrer, because he give me this tactic. He say me that before the match (laughter).


Q. Is the overriding emotion more relief to get through? Are you happy to have got through, given the start?

RAFAEL NADAL: Sure, is important win for me, no? Is important. In every tournament, you have to overcome difficult moments. I have one in the first day. Today another time. Is important, no, because you feel the pressure.

Is important play in difficult moments and is important have alternatives when the things are not doing very well.


Q. What's going through your head when you're down 5‑2 in a set?

RAFAEL NADAL: Nothing, no? I just try to play my game, no? I know I was not doing the things how I would like to do because I didn't play aggressive, I didn't have the control of the point.

And I know in some moment of the match I have to change. I have to try to start play my forehand, try to have the control of the point with my forehand, move Gilles. When I had that, when you do these things, the match change a lot, no?


Q. What do you do on your day off? Reading your blog, you used to play PlayStation with Ferrer.

RAFAEL NADAL: No, disappointing here we are in different hotels, so is not possible, no? Yes, practice in the morning a little bit here, and in the afternoon rest. Less than yesterday because I rest too much yesterday in the afternoon.

I don't know what's happening here in Australia, but I really ‑‑ I really don't know, but in the afternoon if I am in the room, I sleep two hours. I never sleep nothing but here. I don't know.


Q. Australian siesta.

RAFAEL NADAL: Australian siesta (laughter). In Mallorca is typical. Here I never do.

14 of January- Hello to all once again. I know that it would not have thus of being, but first blog is going to be enough short. By two reasons: Because it is very late, here they are the 2 in the morning and I finish arriving at my room of the hotel and because in many of the questions that they have sent to me already they contain many of the things of which it thought to speak. The first example, the one of the question on if I have thought about the one to be number one in this match. To whom it will have been happened to think to him about that possibility?


mathematically clear that the logic is possible but, the statistic and normality are that it is not thus. Safe Federer that it goes for ahead and is difficult that it loses. And I do not know how the match will go. I hope that well, logically. Since I have said in press, I am well. I have been training or and I physically am or.
Another day, as I say, I write on these last months. But I believe that what more interests to you to know is what there am been doing since the year began. Chennai was my first match (and almost the last one of the 2007). I am contented with to have arrived at the end. The party against Moyà was hardest and on the following day it could not move to me. It is normal. Nothing worrisome. Youhzny in addition always is hard so to play in those conditions it was difficult.

Tuesday at night I arrived at Melbourne and my Toni uncle, who was not in Chennai (Francis Roig and Maymo came with me), arrived Thursday in the morning early. Since there am saying to you, I am well and I was training in double session during these days. Today I even played twice. To the 12 with Calleri 30 minutes and to 6 with Moyà other 30. Both played today also and the truth is that I am in favor very sad of the defeat of Carlos. During the party it watched the end of his, the result. They have said to me that it was a very good party and that Koubek played like never. Bad luck. Carlos was playing very well. A pity.

As I say, I trained to 12 and later I became to the hotel. I had lunch (and I had supper) in my room with Rafel Maymo, my fisioterapeuta. We saw something of the series Prison Break. It will already tell you.

Greetings to all

Rafa Nadal

A tu sa jeszcze pytania i odpowiedzi Rafcia Very Happy


1. How do you feel physically to deal with five setter matches? Have you thought of the possibilities that exists to get to number 1?

The matches are tough to five sets, of course. But it is hard for both players. But perhaps the worst thing is not the game itself but the next day and the recovery for the next match. That is the key. And I say that in principle during the match is the same for the two players, if we start in the same conditions we are alike. On the possibility of reaching No. 1, no,I have not thought it at all. I think it's more a thing that has been thinked on the press. It is true that mathematically it might be the case but there are many combinations that also do not depend totally on me. I think although it is not unrealistic, of course would not be the logical thing. Federer has won the last three times here and I have not passed the last quarter, so you imagine Federer losing in quarters and I winning? The chances are remote, right? That is. I hope some day it happens.but I do not know if it is the right moment

2. Hello Im writing from Argentina and I would like to ask to Mr. Rafael Nadal what player of the circuit is more difficult to play against him, discarding to Roger Federer. Thank you very much. Greetings from Cordova, Argentina

Oh Man, being of Argentina you will like the answer. I believethat David Nalbandian, if he plays the level of end of the 2007 and if he is fine either in the physical is the most complicated player.It has been, partly, a surprise what happen to Murray, if that defeated does not happen I would say to you that Murray too.Youhzny also does to me the hardest matches, like Blake. But as I usual say, to me, now, the most difficult player is Serra, who I will play against him Wednesday.

3. Hello Rafa, how you feel? You arrive in good conditions at Australia? A small curiosity, how lives the new-year eve far from house? A greeting, champion, and good luck.

Yes, the truth is that I arrive in good condition. I am training well and I feel good physically. On the new-year Eve,this has been the third away from home. I left Manacor on 27 December to Chennai. The truth is that I misses a lot (not be at home). But at least we were a more or less big group of Spaniards and the tournament organized a celebration in the terrace of the hotel where we were.A girl of the tournament who lived in Spain bought grapes to us and my physiotherapist, Rafa Maymo, gave the chimes with a 'gong' We were Charly Moya, Pedro, his fisio, Tomeu Salva, Guillermo Garcia-Lopez, Ivan Navarro, the director of the tournament, which is also Spaniard and some more. It was hard but we had fun. Anyway,with a lot of moderation because we played on the following day.

4. I write to you from Paraguay, I hope that you know it, since there are people who do not know this country... I warn you, my question is slightly different from others, and that is that I wanted to ask you if you believe much in God,If you pray or ask him to give you forces before each match or if you dont do it. Good luck in the Australian Open! I hope you win ...And I tell you a secret, I know that you soon will be number 1...


Hello, never I was in Paraguay yet but I must go. As for your question, I prefer not to answer because the personal items I always apart. I hope you understand. Thank you.

5. calls my attention The diversity of opinions that there are on the new surface of the courts: for some players is very similar to the previous one, others say it is rather slow (similar to the Indian Wells), some believe that it is almost as fast as the US Open Which is your opinion now that already you know it well? And it is true that this type of surfice also changes as they are playing rounds? Thanks and good luck.


To me, the truth seems like the last year. Neither slower nor faster. I imagine that will change depending on the heat that can be done, as is normal. The courts do not change much as the rounds pass by, but something yes, because painting and grain varies with the crushing of the players. But not much.It is more the subject of the temperature and especially the balls with which to play

Mysle, ze warto dawac tu takze blog Rafy z AO Smile

14 de enero.- Hola a todos una vez más. Sé que no debería de ser así, pero el primer blog va a ser bastante corto. Por dos motivos: Porque es muy tarde, aquí son las 2 de la mañana y acabo de llegar a mi cuarto del hotel y porque en muchas de las preguntas que me han enviado ya contienen muchas de las cosas de las que pensaba hablar. El primer ejemplo, lo de la pregunta sobre si he pensado en lo de ser número uno en este torneo. ¿A quién se le habrá ocurrido pensar en esa posibilidad? Matemáticamente, claro que es posible pero la lógica, la estadística y la normalidad es que no sea así. Federer seguro que va para adelante y es difícil que pierda. Y yo no sé cómo irá el torneo. Espero que bien, lógicamente. Como he dicho en prensa, me encuentro bien. He estado entrenando bien y me encuentro bien físicamente.

Otro día, como digo, escribo sobre estos últimos meses. Pero creo que lo que más os interesa saber es lo que he estado haciendo desde que empezó el año. Chennai fue mi primer torneo (y casi el último del 2007). Estoy contento con haber llegado a la final. El partido contra Moyà fue durísimo y al día siguiente no me podía mover. Es normal. Nada preocupante. Youhzny además siempre es duro así que jugar en esas condiciones era difícil.

El martes por la noche llegué a Melbourne y mi tío Toni, que no estuvo en Chennai (vinieron conmigo Francis Roig y Maymo), llegó el jueves por la mañana temprano. Como os he dicho, me encuentro bien y estuve entrenando en doble sesión durante estos días. Incluso hoy jugué dos veces. A las 12 con Calleri 30 minutos y a las 6 con Moyà otros 30. Ambos jugaron hoy también y la verdad es que estoy muy triste por la derrota de Carlos. Durante el partido miraba el final del suyo, el resultado. Me han dicho que fue un muy buen partido y que Koubek jugó como nunca. Mala suerte. Estaba jugando muy bien Carlos. Una lástima.

Como digo, entrené a las 12 y después me volví al hotel. Almorcé (y cené) en mi habitación con Rafel Maymo, mi fisioterapeuta. Vimos algo de la serie Prison Break. Ya os contare.

Saludos a todos

Rafa Nadal
