Day 14 - An interview with Rafael Nadal - Saturday, June 9, 2007 Q. This is kind of a super classical tomorrow. A very big game. The fact that you won the last two Roland Garros, it gives you an advantage or it puts more pressure on you? RAFAEL NADAL: Maybe in both things, no. The pressure is the same, like always. And, well, it's not an advantage to win the first two, no? You can play with a little bit more calm, because you have the title, but, no, you want to win always. Q. And is a lot of focus not only about the game tennis, but about this personal confrontation between you and Federer, does it make you feel more motivated, this kind of confrontation? RAFAEL NADAL: No, I feel the same because it's the final of Roland Garros. The motivation is the final of Roland Garros. Not playing against Roger, no. Q. You talked earlier this week about being tired because you'd had to travel to Barcelona to do a commercial shoot. And I was wondering if you could tell us exactly when that shoot was, and where you were traveling from? Was it during Hamburg or after? THE MODERATOR: No, he traveled to Barcelona on Monday after Hamburg. Q. Just a quick question, it's not about tennis, but it's about football. Tonight Barcelona's playing Espanol, are you going to be following that? RAFAEL NADAL: Huh? Q. Tonight, Barcelona is playing Espanol, Real Madrid playing Saragosa. RAFAEL NADAL: Yeah. Q. Are you going to be following these results tonight? RAFAEL NADAL: Yeah, I'm going to watch the matches, yeah. I love the football, and, it's -- I always try to watch the match when I can, so today is a good day for watch the match. Q. You give Roger a lot of credit and everything, but how important for you is it to win three Roland Garros in a row and to keep your record perfect here? RAFAEL NADAL: Important is the same important than when you play final of a Grand Slam, no? When you play final in a Grand Slam, it always is special because you are playing for a little bit of history, no? So, well, always special feelings. Important thing for me is try to win another Grand Slam, no? Q. Federer told us before that he feels that the crowd is a bit more with him, because if you won it, he didn't win this tournament. Do you agree with that, or do you expect the crowd to support you tomorrow? RAFAEL NADAL: No, I don't expect nothing. I understand perfectly, the crowd support Roger. So he never win here. But the crowd was fine with me always, too, no? So I feel tonight -- I think tomorrow going to be a little bit with more -- little bit more with Roger, but not against me, no. -- VAMOS! --
