Tommy Robredo
Courtside
Tommy you were just looking at the statistics out of that match, what did you make of your performance?
I think that today I served pretty well. It gave me a lot of chances to play easy. Then I think that Lleyton Hewitt was not 100% fit, he had some problems. At the beginning he was making a lot of double faults which is normally not used to him. Well I got the chances and I won the first set and then at the second he was pushing a little bit harder. I won, Iwas serving great so it was good.
Are you happy about your fitness because you were moving around the court very well? There were some tough rallies today.
Yeah when I got here I was a little bit slower but now I am getting faster. I love to be like that because then I can play a lot more with my forehand. Also for us it is hard to win the points so I think that’s a bit of my game and hopefully I can keep being as fast as today for all of the year.
It was a strange moment early in the second set. We’ll have a look here – you nearly got a way with a double hit. Do you remember this one?
I think that’s a great shot. The umpire was a little bit blind. Normally when it’s the same shot it should be allowed. I was going like this, but you know, sometimes that doesn’t go so fast.
You nearly got away with that. You come out to play with Maria Jose already having won, so she took some pressure off you. You were playing very well, both of you.
Yeah I think that it was strange because we knew we were making the numbers. In the room everyone was saying that if were winning one set we were in the final. We were checking the numbers and everything but we are not so good at maths, so we said maybes its best if one or both of us win the match so it’s easier. Maria is playing great tennis, a great week. I think today was the toughest match she had, she was playing great. Being on the court and watching her play so nice. Obviously I have a good partner and then I have to keep going because she’s playing that good I have to do my best because then we are very close to that diamond ball.
You already have one, you won one with Arantxa and you’re a good chance again.
Yep I’m just one match away. I heard that this year there are so many more diamonds on the ball so it’s pretty nice.
Well you’re playing well enough to maybe win it again. Would you thank Tommy Robredo.
