The second half of the year has been extremely difficult, but I will try my best finish. I'm always happy to be here [in Paris], I think is the prettiest city in the world

Rafael Nadal said the Davis Cup final will be his main goal in the final stretch of the season, but said that will also do well at the Masters 1000 Paris-Bercy and the Masters tournament in London.

"These past months have been difficult, but I have not played badly. I have missed the victories in major tournaments, where you must come with confidence and play well. I knew it would be difficult to win trophies like this, but I still have the Davis Cup final where I can add one. I hope to help my team win, "said the Spanish tournament Paris-Bercy.

While noting that their motivation is high for last year's 1000 Masters, Nadal admitted that the area in which it plays is not the best for their interests. "For me it's more difficult, especially at the end of the season. But I try to progress as possible," said Seles, who found the center of Bercy "faster" than in previous editions, with a bouncing ball less.

Nadal admitted that the pace of play lost its slump in the middle of the season because of injuries. "After an injury is difficult to play again. The second half of the year has been extremely difficult, but I will try best finish, "he added.

The Spanish said that normally lived his return to Paris, where he was defeated last May for the first time in his career at Roland Garros, a tournament he has won four times.

I lost Roland Garros and it's over, you can not always win. The re feeling is no different than last year. I'm always happy to be here, I think is the prettiest city in the world and being here gives me good feeling. I have the greatest hope of winning a Masters 1000, the same than if you had won Roland Garros, "he said.

In this sense, Nadal denied having problems with the French public, while acknowledging that booed him last year when he left the track at Bercy injured in the quarterfinals. "For me it was harder to leave the track for the public. But I have nothing to say. This city is important to me and the public at Roland Garros has always been very kind to me. When I go down the street people say hello" he said.

Nadal spoke of their first opponents at Paris-Bercy, his compatriot Nicolas Almagro, who beat Swiss Marco Chiudinelli. "We know very well and is a difficult opponent because he is very strong and pulls the ball very well. I have to take the few opportunities you may have, will be a difficult game. More will be given the first round for me and he will already be involved in competition, "he said.

Apart from Bercy and the Davis Cup final, Nadal is left with the Masters tournament in London before ending his season. "Every tournament is different and the Masters can not fail because you play only against the best. You can not go taking shape in the early games. It sure who wins here, if you go to London, will have more confidence, but it's a different tournament, "he said.

Back to demand changes in the Spanish doping laws said that tennis is free of doping and reiterated its view of that testing procedures are too complicated.

Nadal, who earlier accused the drivers of "harass" the players said it was a problem that the players are obliged to inform doping authorities of his whereabouts diary. "Sure, I'd love to have some changes," he said.
