Rafa is Rafa and he is very good. I have lost four times to him here in the final now but I know I have lost to one of the greats. He is a very good player and as a person even better.
Overall I am happy with my week. I played my best match of the week today, but to win against Rafa I had to do more ... I played a bit too conservatively on the set points in the first set. It's difficult to lose my fourth final. It was a very good tournament for me.

It will be difficult to beat Rafa on clay ... I’ve lost the last three times to him on clay here, I hope it will be different for me tomorrow.

It was a very tough match where both players had good chances. I knew if I fought I could win ... It was our best game on clay. Feli [Feliciano Lopez] made it very difficult for me.
It's very special for me. It's the one I'm most dreaming about. For me, (the Barcelona Open) is my top priority and winning here would be the icing on the cake for my career
It was difficult mentally, physically, I played a lot of matches and I am a bit exhausted
