PRESS CONFERENCE TRANSCRIPT from Tuesday
[...]
QUESTION: In English one for Carlos Ferrero: Do you remember Wimbledon you beat Escude; do you remember that match?
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: Yes.
QUESTION: Was it a good impression, or?
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: It was as good win, I remember. But what do you want, I don't know?
QUESTION: Perhaps you can repeat here as good as win. I mean, if you beat him in Wimbledon you can beat him also on grass or whatever?
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: I can't beat him here because ? ? ?
QUESTION: He is no not here ? ? ?
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: Yes.
QUESTION: I think I see some good matches before. I remember Carlos playing well in Halle in some tournaments, and this year in Wimbledon ? beating Jason Stoltenberg at Wimbledon and he's played a lot of matches on grass?
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: He's played a lot of matches on grass than I played and I played good, so I'm going to try and keep playing good here.
[...]
QUESTION: Carlos, how much more difficult is it to beat Hewitt on grass for you than any other surface?
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: I don't know yet because I never played against him on grass, it's going to be the first time if I play, so I will try to find a way if I play.
QUESTION: Do you expect to play on Friday; do you expect to be playing singles?
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: Of course I always expect to play because I want to play, but it is not always possible to play in this team because there are great players here, I'm not the only one player that can play good here, so I expect to play, but it is always difficult to play in this team and I will see this time if I can play.
