He looked tired early in the match. DAVID FERRER: No, I don't think so. No, my game is for to run a lot, no? And Djokovic, he play with more power, no? I don't think so I was tired to him. I think in the first set he play the first game with a little bit nervous. Maybe I used to be this one, no? I play with confidence all the match. I played really, really good. Q. You won in Tokyo. Your late-season form is very good. What do you think is the key to your form over the last part of the season? DAVID FERRER: I don't know, no? Physic, mentally, with mind I am with very confidence, no? Maybe the final of the year, playing very, very good tennis in Paris. I played very good. I don't know, no? Maybe was the confidence. The confidence is very important. The physic, no? It's the final of the season. I am very great physic. Q. Today belongs to Spanish players.
