WESTERN & SOUTHERN FINANCIAL GROUP MASTERS
August 16, 2006
CINCINNATI, OHIO
THE MODERATOR: Questions, please, for Juan Carlos.
Q. Five in the world, big win. You’ve been there, obviously. Was everything clicking today? It was 2 and 4, the score. Seemed to go really well in your favor today?
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: Well, I think, you know, was not today. I was practicing very well these two weeks in — since I came to United States.
Anyway, last week I lost against González, but I think he play really good. I couldn’t do anything. But I was playing really good so, you know, I keep practicing well. Today, finally, I could make a great win and great tennis.

So I think it felt really good in the court. I did everything in the court – play solid, play strong, stronger than him, I think, because he likes to play very, very aggressive all the time. And, you know, I try to take first advantage in the point and I think was the key.

TMS – MADRID
October 18, 2005
MADRID, SPAIN
THE MODERATOR: Questions in Spanish.
Q. Was the Masters a goal here at the end of the season?
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: Of course, it was. Defeat always hurts, especially when you play in Spain. However, it was a tough match because these matches are always difficult. Especially Mirnyi, he has this special way of playing that gives you no rhythm, no pace. You need to be careful all the time, be quick to return, see the balls quickly. The court is okay, but altitude made it very quick. I’ve only had one training session because I just arrived. However, I think I returned well, I served well, but I wasn’t able to take advantage of the second set, which seemed to be mine at the beginning. Tiebreaks tend to give the victory to good servers.
