Wimbledon 2012 : Juan Carlos interview



Here's a small interview of Juan Carlos just after his match lost vs Novak Djokovic :

Q. Within seven minutes you had your first breakpoint. Were you encouraged by the fact that you were breaking so quickly? 
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: No. I think at the beginning of the matches can happen like this 'cause you are not in the rhythm of the match, starting the tournament. Today I take the break very early, but he break me again very fast. I didn't expect to break him very early, but sometimes is happen like this. 

Q. I guess playing Novak you were expecting a tricky match because he's a great player. Was it the sort of match you anticipated, or was it more tricky? JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: Always is difficult to play against one of these guys. They are the best in the world. You know, on grass courts I think he likes to play very much. Of course, it was my first match on grass this year, so it was very difficult to come here and face Novak in the first round, of course. 

Q. Could you speak about the atmosphere in the Centre Court. JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: Always is special to play in this court; always will be. That's why it's very different to play in this kind of court.

Wimbledon 2012 : Juan Carlos lost vs Novak Djokovic !


for his first match at Wimbledon , Juan Carlos didn't have any luck because he had to face the defending champion , Novak Djokovic ! Juan didn't play bad , he even nearly had the same statistics as Novak but the Serbian player had more rhythm in his game and forced Juan to make more faults . So bad for Juan Carlos coz Wimbledon is a tournament where he always had some good results ! Let's hope we'll have the pleasure to see him next year !

Juan Carlos blog : "Ready for London !"


"Hi everyone. Thank you so much for your comments. I have already seen you have written a lot since my last visit to the blogsite. Now I am almost ready to go to London, probably in a couple of days. In all this time, there are not so much interesting things happening in my life. After Roland Garros I went to Barcelona to spend some free days with my friend Sete Gibernau and now I am already back training next to Nico Almagro and the rest of my team very hard, both tennis and fitness. Because of this, hopefully, we will be able to get the best results possible. Hope to be back to my blogsite soon and, why not, with a victory of the Spanish team... SO HARD MATCH YESTERDAY! I couldn't stop bitting my nails! But, at the end, my friends Iker and Co. put our team in its correct team, IN THE TOP! Thank you so much for your support and hope to be back very soon!!"
