2016 Barcelona Open R3 Rafael Nadal def. Albert Montanes 6/2 6/2
Translated by Genny SS:
Alex asks Rafa is he's been able to warm up in the outer courts before the match. Rafa says yes, but only for 7-8 min.
Alex jokes that this means his usual routines have been disrupted.Rafa smiles & says they're used to this in rainy days.No problem (+smiles)
Alex reminds Rafa about the game *2-0, 30-15 in 1st set when he failed a FH & Monty started to play great. Rafa says he should've been more careful w/that FH as it was an important point for 40-15 & be w/comfortable 3-0... but he was feeling great & hit the FH too casually.
Rafa's asked about today's conditions. Despite the rain that delayed the start, he says there was no wind & thus conditions were much better.
Alex asks Rafa to tell us what he's doing in a day like today, where at 15:00 he's already finished & in QF. Rafa says that he'll eat a bit & then he'll do some recovery, as this the 2nd tournament in a row & last week was tough w/long matches, rest a bit & maybe go to the cinema.
