WHAT THE PLAYERS SAID
Ferrero: "At 5-1 and set ball [in the first set], it was incredible then to be 5-4 and 15-all. I had to concentrate because it was very difficult to be 5-4 after 5-1."
About meeting Federer
"Tomorrow is gonna be difficult. He won Hamburg last year, so he played very well on clay last year. He's playing right now very good also because he came from Munich, winning a tournament. I'm going to try to play very aggressive all the time, try to return his big serve. And, as you know, it's the first time we're going to meet on clay, so we have to see what's happen."
Federer about meeting Ferrero:
"I'm looking forward to it. It's going to be a really tough battle. I think it's a match-up that everybody hoped for. So I'm looking forward to it, too."
"What can I say. He's been playing good, I've been playing great. We both have confidence, so it should be a good match tomorrow. I'll give it my best shot. I'll try to play my game, which means mix it up and use my serve and come to the net maybe a little bit more than I did the last few matches, and hopefully I can give him a really tough match tomorrow."
