Quotes by Rafa Nadal after the DelPotro Match:

“When I served for the first time in the match, I think I had two or three unforced errors with my forehand, so that's not usual,” said Nadal. “That's maybe because I didn't play very good matches this week before.

“After that I think I started to put more balls inside, played higher to his backhand, and tried to get the right rhythm. I think I did well. I played a few good games. I think he had a few mistakes than usual. That helped me a little bit. But in general, I think I played my best match in Indian Wells this year by far.”

“Coming back after one month and a few more days outside of competition, to come back and play a final another time is fantastic news for me,” he said. “It's a lot of points, and for me is really, really important this coming back. Winning matches like today is how you can come back to your highest level.”
