“The truth is I had a good game, I’ve been training. After Australia I needed to gather myself. I arrived to Acapulco with anticipation; I spent the previous week in Cozumel to get myself used to the tropical weather. This was a great game against a difficult rival”, said Nadal.

Interviewer tells Rafa they've seen his knee being taped before the match & asks him if he has any particular issue he should worry about. (Smiley) Rafa says he hopes not. He simply felt something. It's something he's worn for many years & sometimes [wearing it] makes him feel a little bit more confident and that is all. For now he hopes it's not something more [more smiles] (via Genny SS)
