Q: JC you played the first 3 games today the way you played the first two sets yesterday.
JC: Exactly. YOu know I thought before I went to the court that I have to play the same way as the two sets yesterday. So I started very strong, very solid, very concentrate all the time, every point. So I think was the key to start very good the match again.
Q: Did you feel extra pressure yesterday when you went out on court after Carlos Moya's defeat to Paul-Henri Mathieu?
JC: Always it's difficult when you go out to play and you go 1-0 down. Was the same example as last time I played the final in Barcelona. I went to court exactly the same. So I had the experience. I went to the court, don't think about think about these points. So, I tried to be focused in my game and tried to win the point.
Q: One of the reasons for choosing Alicante was that it's near your home. Is this
becoming the tie you had hoped it would be?
JC: Ya, of course. I think the people are supporting the team very good. Screaming all the time, say everything we need in the whole moments. I think they are supporting very good so it's the tie that I expect.
Count: 'ahh' = 17 and 'you know' = 5
Oh, the 'ahh's are winning!! Not sure which is better ^^
