N. Almagro - 22.01.2013

D. FERRER/N. Almagro
4-6 4-6 7-5 7-6 6-2

Q.  Take us back to the three opportunities to serve for the match.  How frustrating was that to have that chance and not get it done?
NICOLAS ALMAGRO:  Well, I think was tough because I couldn't serve really good because I was serving with all my body, with full power.
After that, 4 3 in the third, I start to miss a lot of first serve.  I think when you play second serve with David, was really tough to beat him.
Well, I don't want to think about that because it's just 10 minutes I finish the match.  Maybe I have time to think tomorrow or later.  Not now.

Q.  The career record now against Ferrer, is that really starting to bother you?
NICOLAS ALMAGRO:  I don't want to think about that.  He is the No. 4 of the world.  He is the favorite.  He beat me many times, but many matches were close.

Q.  Until 5 4 in the third set, your average speed on the first serve was 200 kilometer per hour.  You were basically perfect with the service, forehand, backhand.  What happened mentally next?
NICOLAS ALMAGRO:  If you not 100% to play, I don't know if it's mentally or not.
I think I tried to play my best tennis today.  I say few days ago with my last press conference I will try to play aggressive, I will try to play my best tennis, and I think I did today.
Is not enough to beat David.  But we'll see what happen in the future.  I am ready to work and we'll see.  I don't know.  I don't want think that it's a mentality problem.  If I have mentality problem, I think I didn't win the first two sets.
