WHILE ACKNOWLEDGING THAT MUCH WORK STILL HAS
Nadal: "I'm here to win"

I am always humble, it's not a pose. You have to have your feet on the ground. What ever happens, I have done everything well to be where I am now and I would love to keep this level the most time possible.

Last year I arrived here with a lot of problems with my knees and affected for not being 100%.

I am here to win, I will try that, but it's still very far away and there are other players too, but you have to have that mentality. I have come here with the intention to win, yes.

I dont like to talk about last year, when I came here with health problmes, it is not an excuse to lose. I lost because I had to, but I did arrive with problems in my knees. Not only physical also personal problems.

The favorites this year are very clear : Djokovic, Federer, David Ferrer, Nando, Juan Carlos, Murray, the ones everybody thinks of and also can be suprises, even Soderling.

Yes, there is a possibility to return to number one, that is clear, and I am well situated, it will depend on this tournament, we will see. I am well situated also in the Champions face, so that means I am doing the things well.
