MODERATOR: Questions, please.
Q. How would you describe the whole match, like a summary of the
match? How did you see the match?
RAFAEL NADAL: I was serving pretty well, and I was unlucky on a
few balls when I had the chance to change the momentum. I was
unlucky in those points, so...
Q. What aspect of your game gave you the most problems today?
RAFAEL NADAL: I served pretty well. I mean, I returned pretty
well, but he served too well for me today. In those courts it's
very important to have a good serve. That make the difference
today.
Q. How different was this match from the last time you played?
RAFAEL NADAL: There hasn't been a lot of difference from the last
game. The last game was also kind of tight. And it was on clay;
that makes some difference.
I played a little bit better than the last time we played.
Q. You played an unbelievable point where you hit that overhead.
How did that affect your thinking for the rest of the match?
RAFAEL NADAL: I won most of the rallies of this game, but it
didn't help me anyway, so...
Q. But that particular one?
RAFAEL NADAL: It is just a point. It doesn't mean anything after
all, so...
Q. Do you take any consolation -- I know that a loss is a loss,
but you were in there, like, the entire way. I don't know how to
explain it.
RAFAEL NADAL: I'm a fighter. I fight all the time. Even, I was
down 5-2 in the third set. I fought back and I got a break back.
In the tiebreak I had my chances. But, still, I missed that point
when we were at 6-6.
Q. Like you said, you served well throughout the match. But when
you broke El Aynaoui in the third set, did you think at that
point that you had a chance to turn the match around and that the
match was going to five sets?
RAFAEL NADAL: Well, that was the purpose of breaking. If I could
have lost in four sets, I prefer to lose in four sets than in
three sets - or five sets. I wanted to take the game to another
set, but I was unable to force another set.
Q. That point at 6-all, there was an unforced error forehand.
You never made that kind of mistake the whole match. Was it
nerves? Were you thinking ahead? What was the problem? Why did
you make such a big mistake?
RAFAEL NADAL: I wanted to play to his forehand, and that was more
difficult. I should have played to his backhand like I had been
doing most of the game.
Q. So it was the wrong decision?
RAFAEL NADAL: It didn't make a big difference. It was almost the
last point, but there were many points before, so, that I lost.
