Hello everyone,
This last post might come 1) late for some and 2) as a surprise for others. The truth is that I should have sent it through yesterday but as I landed in Madrid I thought about writing it at my hotel room. But I was really tired. I couldn't sleep much in the airplane during the flight and as I landed I had a press conference and went straight to the hotel to bed ... Sorry about that. Then I went to see last night Real Madrid against Ajax and enjoyed coming down to the pitch and salute all fans.
Well, I am back at home and wanted to take the chance to thank all of you who follow this blog. I said this was my lucky blog and there you go, I managed to win the US Open.
Many thanks and hope to be back soon.
Rafa


I feel proud to win, but don't compare me to Federer

Rafael Nadal answers his final set of questions after a triumphant fortnight at Flushing Meadows.

How does it feel to become the seventh Grand Slam winner in history? Charlene

It feels great. Probably better today than two days ago since I have had the chance to think more about it. I am really happy and proud!

How did you cope with the rain delay? What did you do to pass the time? Z Young

We are used to it. I was playing well, had confidence on my game and the way I was playing so it was not as bad as initially you can think. I simply thought about mistakes and tried to improve.

Will you also have your own tournament in Spain like Novak Djokovic has in Serbia? Cedrine

I don't think so but you never know.

Will a DVD be made of your match with Roger Federer to be sold for charity? Ros W

You will have to ask Carlos about it. I am not aware of it.

Do you think you can beat Roger's total of 16 grand-slam wins? Nik

I don't think so. What Roger has done is very big and difficult to achieve.

Do you really think you will never be better than Federer? Harry G

Yes I do. But I can also say that I will try to keep improving.

Novak Djokovic said "You’re the best" after your win. What's the nicest compliment you have ever been given? Caroline D

We have a great relationship. He is really a nice guy and I thank him for his words. This is probably one of the nicest things I have ever heard, specially since it came right after the final at the press conference too.

What will you do to celebrate? Danesh

I am finally back home and will celebrate with my friends and family simply doing a normal life.
