Рафаэль Надаль: «Фернандо сегодня играл невероятно»
Испанец Рафаэль Надаль, обыгравший в полуфинальном матче на Australian Open своего соотечественника Фернандо Вердаско со счетом 6:7, 6:4, 7:6, 6:7, 6:4, в послематчевом интервью подвел итог этого поединка.
«Было очень трудно играть в агрессивный теннис против такого игрока, как Фернандо. Он играл невероятно. Только играя на очень высоком уровне можно добиваться побед в таких поединках.
Что касается финала, то у Роджера будет некоторое преимущество. Сейчас он отдыхает, но я постараюсь восстановиться и показать все, на что буду способен», приводит слова Надаля АР.
Нет, я конечно понимаю Ваше стремление преподнести тут всех болельщиков Надаля невинными овечками, белыми и пушистыми, но до абсурда не доходите.. в самом-то деле..
на харде погоня за всеми мячами и их отыгрыш на другую сторону не игра победителя
так4та гордись 4то в финал вышел
а завтра - поболеем спокойно , кто за Динару, кто за Серену...спокойной всем ночи :)
FERNANDO VERDASCO: I will speak with them in next tournament (smiling).
No, but I think, for sure, the semifinals supposed to be the same day, both semifinals, because I think, you know, is the most fair for everybody, no? Because like right now, yesterday Federer play three sets, and today Rafa play five sets, five hours, and he will have one day less, and with a semifinal much longer.
I think that for sure they supposed to play the two semifinals like the womans, the same day. And I think also with two weeks, you have enough days to make the schedule right and have it like this.
But I don’t know why they did it, no? I promise, I didn’t know that Federer was playing yesterday. I thought that yesterday was playing only girls, and today two semifinals. When I saw that he was playing yesterday, I was a little bit in shock. I was like, Why he’s playing one day before us? He will have much recover, and in the final he will have a little bit more of advantage because he had one day more.
So I don’t know why they did it. And I think that, for sure, they need to change it.
Q. Only Wimbledon has the perfect schedule. The others do what they want.
FERNANDO VERDASCO: I think this is one thing that for sure they need to change. If they hear me here, the guys from Australian Open, I’m so happy because I make semifinals here, and is my biggest tournament. But I think that for sure they need to make it better.
And I think if they put the two semifinals the same day, is gonna be more fair for everybody, for all the four players.
Q. You had 95 winners. You played extremely offensively, but Rafa still gets so many balls back. What is the most impressive thing about his defensive skills?
FERNANDO VERDASCO: Everybody knows that he is the best player making this, no? He gets unbelievable balls. You need to win the point against him three or four times more than against all the other players.
Anyway, there are so good players like Federer, Murray, Roddick, Blake, whatever, all the top players. With Rafa you need to win the point three times more than with all the others.
He have unbelievable legs. He run unbelievable. Anyway, he’s taking the ball, you know, like so difficult. I think that he always have a chance to put the ball in unbelievable, no?
Today was a lot of points like this. You know, I remember that point unbelievable that I made a smash like so close to the net, and he just put the ball in. I put it again to the forehand, and he made unbelievable passing shot cross‑court with the forehand. I was, like, I couldn’t believe, no?
But, you know, with Rafa after, I start laughing because I say like, With him is normal. With the others, no. But with him, I’m not surprised of this, no? I saw him play a lot of times, and he made things that all the other doesn’t make. So this is why he’s also No. 1 in the world.
