Masters Series Monte Carlo
21 April 2007
R. FEDERER /J. Ferrero 6-3, 6-4
Interview de: JUAN CARLOS FERRERO
THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.
Q. One point away from 4 1 Roger seemed to (indiscernible). The match seemed to change after that. Was that also your perception?
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: Yeah, it was a big change. That ball was very important to me to win it because it was 4 1 and to serve, and I think the history of the first set maybe it turns a little bit.
After this, he start to play more aggressive and he won like seven points in the row very easy hitting the ball so hard, and I couldn’t have the chance to fight.
Sometimes with him, you know, you have the feeling that you are so bad because when he start to play amazing it’s really difficult to follow his rhythm of the game.
But that ball was very important I think for the first set. I mean, it’s not the history of the whole match, but it was very important.

Q. Obviously the game at 4 2 in the second set was the key, the turning point.
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: Yeah, of course. It was very important to win this point because, you know, I start to smile a little bit more and start to enjoy a little bit more inside the match.
And also I start to, I think, hit the ball stronger than I did at the beginning of the game and I start to dominate him more than at the beginning of the match. So I think it was very important, this game and this point.

ATP MASTER SERIES MADRID
October 18, 2006
MADRID, SPAIN
Q. Juan Carlos, what are your feelings after the match?
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: Well, a very poor sensation. He’s a player that does not allow you much rest on the court. And to play against him in this indoor court has never been easy.

I don’t know if I had to play a high game, a low game. I didn’t know. I was quite uncomfortable.
Q. This last part of the season you have been training hard. However, things have not been smooth for you. What do you think the problem has been.
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: The last matches have been defeated on the third set. So I have not been lucky because I have been playing well lately. However, to be disqualified in the first rounds makes you lose confidence in yourself. Maybe I’m not in the best moment of my career.

THE MODERATOR: Questions.
Q. Juan Carlos, what positives do you take away from this week?
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: Well, I think all. I take everything. I take the matches that I play. I take the guys that I beat. I take the level that I leave from this tournament. I think I go with a lot of confidence to New York.

And, you know, last year I lost in the first round against Clement and this year I have no points to defend, so it’s a good opportunity to get up in the ranking a little bit more. Because I think I’m finished now at 18 or something like this, so is a good chance.

CINCINNATI, OHIO
THE MODERATOR: Juan Carlos will be appearing in his 25th career final, the first of this year. Also trying to win his first title since winning the ATP Masters Series- Madrid in 2003. It’s also his second career final in the U.S.; he reached the 2003 US Open final.
Questions for Juan Carlos.
Q. How does it feel to be back in a Masters Series final?
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: I felt very, very happy, you know. You know, I have confidence that I could win this match, but maybe not in these two sets. It was a little bit easier than I thought because, you know, Tommy, he’s playing pretty good, and he was winning also his matches in two sets during the whole week. He won yesterday very good match against Ljubicic, who is a specialist on hard court.

So I expect to have a very hard job today, but finally I think I start pretty good with this first set. You know, I felt pretty good in the second, as well. Also in his time-out with the official, you know, I have a little bit, you know, doubts the way I play, if I have to play aggressive or not, he’s gonna miss or not, you know. But finally I play good.
