Spain press conference transcript
QUESTION: Alex, what do you make of Lleyton Hewitt's comments today about the lack of respect for Australia in Barcelona two years ago?
ALEX CORRETJA: Yeah, well, I believe I said already many times that we had a chat, we'd been talking together and we solved our problems, I apologised to him and to Pat already a few times and I think everything is done and now our relationship is just polite and everything. So, I didn't see any problems or any more troubles, I just come here to play tennis to help my team to win, and I don't want to enter into any fights because I think it doesn't make any sense for me.
QUESTION: Are you surprised to keep reading about it in that case?
ALEX CORRETJA: No, maybe if they ask him, so maybe he said his point of view, he probably was thinking that we behaved bad against him in Barcelona and that is why he said. It's normal because we are playing again in another final; Spain verses Australia, or Australia verses Spain and in that case, in Barcelona, we had this problem so that is why probably he came up with the same problem again, but as I said, I don't want to enter into any troubles beside the tennis court.
QUESTION: What sort of reception do you expect to get from the Australian crowd?
ALEX CORRETJA: Me?
QUESTION: Yes.
ALEX CORRETJA: Personally, well, I have got a lot of respect for Aussie people, I think they are pretty open guys and they always treat me really well, and I don't see any reason why they're going to go against me or anything. I believe it's going to be just a nice tie and we'll try to play our best, that is the most important thing. If they feel like they have to do something against me or feeling that I didn't behave well in Barcelona and now they have to do it against me again, then I will have to accept it. I mean, I'm not going to enter into any controversy with the public or anything, I'm just going to try and play my best and that is all. I'm not going to get into any fight with the them, or either the team. I think I have a really good relationship with some of the guys in the team - in the Aussie team, and that is enough for me.
QUESTION: Carlos, what do you think of the court so far?
CARLOS MOYA: I mean it is still a grass court, but I feel the Rod Laver arena is a different court than what we practice in at Kooyong. I think it's a bit slower than there, so every day is better and better. Because last time I played on grass was like two years ago, so now I feel better on the first day, but for sure the next day I'm going to feel better.
QUESTION: Carlos, are you expecting to play singles on Friday?
CARLOS MOYA: Well, I came here to help the team and what I want is to play, but it's the captain's choice, or we have to accept the decision. They believe I'm ready, and if I have to play on Friday, I'm ready for it.
QUESTION: Are you confident you can hold up a singles berth?
CARLOS MOYA: Well, who knows, it isn't going to be easy. We came here to win. We are going to do our best and give 100 per cent. Who knows how difficult it is going to be playing Australia on grass, but we have to accept it and as I said, we are here to try and win.
QUESTION: In English one for Carlos Ferrero: Do you remember Wimbledon you beat Escude; do you remember that match?
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: Yes.
QUESTION: Was it a good impression, or?
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: It was as good win, I remember. But what do you want, I don't know?
QUESTION: Perhaps you can repeat here as good as win. I mean, if you beat him in Wimbledon you can beat him also on grass or whatever?
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: I can't beat him here because - - -
QUESTION: He is no not here - - -
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: Yes.
QUESTION: I think I see some good matches before. I remember Carlos playing well in Halle in some tournaments, and this year in Wimbledon - beating Jason Stoltenberg at Wimbledon and he's played a lot of matches on grass?
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: He's played a lot of matches on grass than I played and I played good, so I'm going to try and keep playing good here.
QUESTION: Jordi, may I ask you: How close are you to deciding the makeup of the team, the singles and the doubles; have you decided?
JORDI AIRESE: Sorry, but my English is not impressionable. We know that this team, we are prepared to play any matches and we know that Corretja and Feliciano will play doubles on Saturday. We have many changes for play, are different than Australian team that play for sure; Philippoussis, Hewitt and Woodbridge up for the doubles. I'm sure not.
QUESTION: That is fine, yes.
JORDI AIRESE: If not, I go better in Spanish and he will translate me. That is okay?
QUESTION: Are you still thinking about who will play the singles?
JORDI AIRESE: I don't give you ideas for the team, this is only on the team. Secret for the moment, but Thursday we give our ideas.
QUESTION: Pedro, you might want to translate this one: John Fitzgerald said before that he believes that the roof should not be used, it should be that if it rains you just cover the courts and stop until it stops raining and then you start again, where as the policy says that the roof must be shut; what does the Spanish captain think of that?
JORDI AIRESE: I think if it has rained.
QUESTION: So, no roof; you don't think the roof should be shut?
JORDI AIRESE: No.
QUESTION: Feliciano, are you prepared, are you confident to take a singles berth if you're called up to play singles?
FELICIANO LOPEZ: Yes, I have to be ready if they decide that I have to play, this is the only thing.
QUESTION: When do you expect to find out?
FELICIANO LOPEZ: Sorry?
QUESTION: When would you expect to know?
FELICIANO LOPEZ: Well, I already know who is going to play on Friday, but this is all I can do.
QUESTION: Carlos, how much more difficult is it to beat Hewitt on grass for you than any other surface?
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: I don't know yet because I never played against him on grass, it's going to be the first time if I play, so I will try to find a way if I play.
QUESTION: Do you expect to play on Friday; do you expect to be playing singles?
JUAN CARLOS FERRERO: Of course I always expect to play because I want to play, but it is not always possible to play in this team because there are great players here, I'm not the only one player that can play good here, so I expect to play, but it is always difficult to play in this team and I will see this time if I can play.
