Some of the things Rafa said:

"I had many tough matches with Federer, with Davydenko, with Djokovic, with Ferrer ... the matches are difficult and much more when you play tournaments like Maters 1000 where are the best in the world. It's an important win for me, in the second set I lost the timing of the ball and of the match, he served very strong and got a lot of first serves in. When I served I played with more pressure and that made me play more defensive and lose agression. Without agression the ball doesn't run and make it easier for the other to play.
If I had to play against him again, I try to get more inside the court and controll the point.
I was not feeling the ball well, the court is very fast and very difficult to control the ball. In the third set I have calmed and I could play better.
I lost all the statistics of break points converted, he served very hard, I waited my time, waited to have a point where I can play and try to throw a long ball and try to play one to one, but until the end I couldn't. I am very happy to be in the final against David Ferrer, it'll be very difficult."
