JUAN CARLOS FERRERO
THE MODERATOR: English questions for Juan Carlos Ferrero, please.
Q. You missed some easy shots at the end. Maybe you put too much pressure on
you because you were thinking of the No. 1 in the world, no?
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: No, no, no. Maybe 'cause was a tiebreak. But I don't
remember that easy shots, no. When?
Q. You put some backhand in the net at 5-all. 5-all, some unforced error, two
or three unforced error.
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: (Smiling). No, was not the pression of the No. 1, was the
pression maybe of the match. I wanted to win, and maybe I
miss because, you know, is difficult to play that moments.
He play better than me.
Q. There was a point at 4-all when there was a clear double bounce and the
umpire didn't see it. Obviously, Sebastien then turned around and gave you
the point. Were you, first of all, surprised the umpire didn't see it?
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: Yeah, I was surprised because I went to hit the ball,
you know, so relax because I thought that it was two
bounce. And I went and I hit like away, you know, because
I thought it was two bounce.
And then for my surprise, was one bounce, and Grosjean say
that it's two. So, was very good for him -- of him.
Q. It's a nice gesture.
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: Yeah, yeah. He is nice guy. Is a nice guy, yeah.
Q. What made the difference today?
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: I think I didn't serve as well as yesterday. Yesterday, I
served so good.
Maybe when I went 3-1 up on his serve, I had to win that
game. I lose a game and, you know, I had opportunity with
Love-30, 5-4 for me. And, you know, it was so difficult. I
lose little bit my confidence in my game, 6-5 on his serve
. I try to do my best, I did it.
The tiebreak was, again, the same as yesterday. You know,
the tiebreak, maybe the winner of the tiebreak is good
because you feel more comfortable or you feel more
aggressive. And, you know, also the luck is important.
Q. Do you think the rain delay affected you at all?
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: Rain?
Q. Yes.
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: No. No, no, no. I don't think so. Is the same for both
players. You know, is not -- you can play better or worse,
but not for the rain.
Q. How do you see Sebastien's chances in his next match? Obviously, he plays
Tim on Centre Court.
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: Yeah, I think he has a lot of chances to win because he's
return very well and, you know, he has a lot of potential
in his shots, you know. He has a very good forehand, very
good serve, and, you know, when he's with confidence, he's
difficult guy to win.
Q. Did he surprise you just how well he's playing?
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: No, because I saw the results from last two weeks, and he
did the final and semifinal. So since the beginning he
plays on grass, he's playing good. So is not surprise for
me.
Q. What part of your game do you think you have to improve to be better on the
grass?
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: On grass, I don't know exactly.
You know, I think I was playing very good this Wimbledon
on grass. And maybe today, if I had a little bit more
lucky, if I won the match, you know, in quarterfinals, it
will be another thing.
So I think I was playing so good, but Grosjean was playing
better than me. But I don't think that I have to improve a
lot in one shot or in the movement or something, I think I
was playing good.
Q. Do you think that one day you can win this tournament?
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: Maybe. I think so. I think I can play very good here,
because I did it. I feel good on grass.
Q. Definitely you feel okay on grass?
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: Yeah, yeah.
Q. That's new for you?
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: Yeah, that's new because the other years, I didn't feel so
, so well. But this Wimbledon, I feel well. I feel great.
And I think in the future I can play good here.
