RAfael Nadal was satisfied with his first victory in the London 2020 group of the Masters Cup. The Spaniard did not concede a single break ball and signed his third most comfortable win in a debut.
Matches to five sets. “I’m totally against the ‘Grand Slam’ matches being the best of three sets. This is part of the story. If it was changed in the finals of the Masters 1,000 it is because it was not possible to go to the next tournament. I played two Rome finals to five sets and then I couldn’t play in Hamburg. “
Second match with Thiem. “He has improved every year and deserves all the successes because he is a worker. The game will be a great challenge to play with him. I must try to play at my highest level otherwise it will be impossible. Today we have to forget if it is more gravel specialist because he’s reached the Australian final and won the US Open and Indian Wells. Dominic is a specialist on all surfaces. “
Debut con Rublev. “It’s a positive debut to win in two sets. It’s important for confidence, I’ve been very solid with the serve. I’ve played against someone who has had a great season and I wish him well from now on. It wasn’t a perfect match. He has made more mistakes than usual. Every match is a world against opponents of maximum difficulty. ”
Thiem may be number two. “I’d rather finish two than three. But for a long time I haven’t followed the ranking when choosing the calendar. I look at my body. I know where I have to play well. I have to be smart when I choose what my goals are.”
London bubble. “The world is suffering a lot and we are lucky enough to play tennis. Of course we are more bored than normal without family, without going out to dinner. But we cannot complain. We must give thanks to the ATP and the ‘Grand Slam ‘To be able to do our job. A lot of tournaments are losing money to organize things. ”
Djokovic’s new association. “I have not spoken with Djokovic about this. We trained the other day but we did not talk about it. Because they believe this organization does not mean that they help more than Federer or myself. If we compare the circuit now with seven or eight years ago it has improved a lot. We don’t think anything different is needed to help the more players the better. ”
Physical and head. “I have to get well tensely. The other things help if the tennis is at the highest level. Physically I’m fine, but you know that anything can happen.”
16 qualifications for the Masters. “It’s been many years with the right attitude and great consistency. I have qualified every year since 2005.”
