Federer to cut 700 points Rafa Nadal in the ATP ranking, thanks to his victory at the Madrid Masters Series.

Not one but Nadal made Federer the victory. He was asked whether the time difference in the matches of the semifinal was crucial and the fact that poor sleep the previous night and the Spanish was limited: "It is true that I played four hours and peak hour and it is a putada for me, but also say that this is not an excuse because he has been better. The track and it has favored the use of all factors: a good draw and the rest would be difficult to put your right again and again. I said at the outset that this elevation would be difficult to stop. "

Federer was happy but not euphoric. Satisfied but not throw out the bells on the fly: "It is no relief to win. It was close to doing so in Australia. The important thing is that I never thought it up and told reporters that when he came here he was unbeatable. I think it's good for others and to show that tennis is not. It was a good victory for me, especially because there had a good year. "The Swiss added:" I played well and do it to Rafa because he never gives anything. I think I was aggressive and every time I took the right decisions. "
