Thank you very much. A final strange, tough, difficult and long. Perhaps Federer has not played his best game and that helped me to get the victory.

It seems that you have caught so far either to Swiss ... This favourable 10-6 in head-to-head between the two so denotes.
Each party is a different story and the foregoing does not count. Matches against Federer are usually of utmost importance because they have been the end of major tournaments, so I'm happy for having a positive mark against him, but not by the mark, but because this means that I have won matches.

I think everything is very difficult, especially with Djokovic and Federer are playing at a high level, and when it reaches delighted. I'm going to do everything possible to know if you seize this opportunity. If you arrive? We'll see at year end.

Of course it gives confidence for Roland Garros! But this tournament is important enough to believe that victory in Hamburg aid for Roland Garros. I am with having achieved a victory like this Masters Series.

The 2008 is a year filled with events. One of them, the Olympic Games in Beijing. I imagine that will make you the illusion of being in the Olympic event this summer ...
Of course. Being in the Olympic Games and share the Olympic village with other athletes is a special feeling and I hope to live that experience surely will be positive. The Olympic Games, even though they are only once every four years, are always special.

It is no good what has happened, but sometimes there are situations and we must deal with them. Clearly you remove a little of your free time, but for all players the most important thing is to focus on playing, which is what we are left to us. Moreover, there are situations limits that one can not choose and choose to do what is best cree, but always in groups.

Apart extradeportivo of what can we win the U.S. and plants in the finals?
Obviously, you can beat USA! They have a equipazo, it will be difficult, but they can win. It will be a knockout complicated, in height, but we are confident that when playing in Las Ventas, we encourage the public and make for a fifth player. All players are grateful to the public of Madrid, which is a public emergency.

And then in the end, who prefer to Russia or Argentina?
Either would be very difficult because play outside. If you reach the end, we would not like favorites.

What is clear is that the tennis schedule is more than tight, do you think there is a remedy to this situation?
Yes, I am not a person who has to give, but has remedy. The timetable is tight, tighter what is logical, but especially the timing of Europe, the land. Many people disagree on this, but at the moment we do not vote to change the situation.

Little by little. If we protest all in groups, like bodies up there someday make the event ...
We sent a letter signed by 18 players in the "Top-20" protesting the situation. In this case, we are also very united.

Two in the "Top Ten", five in the "Top-20", nine in the "Top-50" ... Spain boasts quality tennis ...
The Spanish tennis is in a great moment. I like number 2, Ferrer as number 5, Moyá as number 12 ... Almagro is up, Feliciano, Juan Carlos, Robredo ... There are many people who are very good.
