THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.

Q. Talk about how you feel about the achievement again of another quarterfinal here.
DAVID FERRER: Yeah, I'm very happy. A quarterfinal without losing a set. My fitness is okay. It's important in the second week, in a good condition, my fitness.

Q. Your thoughts if Andy wins tonight?
DAVID FERRER: With Andy, it's going to be tough. He's playing really good. The last year he finish No. 2 of the world. He improve his game I think so. He's playing more aggressive. He improve his forehand.

Well, I have fun playing tennis.

DAVID FERRER: I practiced in the pre-season one month, three or four weeks, practicing with the new one. I'm happy with the new one racquet, sure. I am playing good. I'm in quarterfinal.

I change because I thought, me and my team, that I can improve in my shots. Well, is the way, no, for improve and be with the best tennis of the world.
