Nadal has explained in the press conference that “I’m in Cordoba with the hope of making a little bit each day, but I can still value a lot my fitness”, because we have to take into account that “I played more than 4 hours on Monday, and I’ve been 3 weeks competing in other surface.”

The Spaniard has said that “luckily Spain it’s a potency and anybody can play” regardless of wether “we’re four here in the official team and the captain can see another one better prepared than me to play.”

Yesterday “I was only half an hour and was to probe the court, to train you have to play 3 sets.”

About his first touchdown with the court yesterday night, Nadal has said that “I was only half and hour and was to probe the court, to train you have to play 3 sets”, so “it was to start adapting and I did it very tired”

Finally, Nadal has said that “I thank the Federation the gesture it had to arrive here the sooner as possible”, but also said that in any way “I was going to be here on Tuesday or Wednesay”, so he has rinse that his presence in this semifinal it’s “independent that de mayor of Cordoba went to New York to see the final” because although “i’m gratefl to him and pleased to meet him, the decision was maked few monts ago, so “let’s not confused with who makes me come here, I go because of Spain”

Turn, Costa has referred to the presence of Nadal in Cordoba “we have to be already very grateful to him because the effort he has made being here”, and he has said that “I don’t know if it has been polemic that the mayor went to New York, I’m here with the initiative of the Federation”, and actually “I don’t think It has been anything created by the city councill of Cordoba, I wanted Rafa to be here as soon as possible.”

Costa: “We’ve been without losing at home since 99 against Brasil, but we’re always exposed to lose, let’s hope it’s not here.”

About the qualifying itself, the spanish captain has insisted that “we have to have a very good level to win it”, and even he has recognised that “we’ve been without losing at home since 99 against Brasil, but we’re always exposted to lose, let’s hope it’s not here.”

Costa has insured that “there’s no spirit of revenge” with the Gauls, eventhough last year “we were touched bcause they won as 5-0, but the qualifying was very equal” so “now we just want to win.”

With everything, Costa has warned that the French team “comes showing that is one of the bests in the world”, with the independence that Monfils fall is “important”, because “he’s very good in clay and carismatic, which use to gives a lot of points.”

Finally, Costa has added that the court is in “good conditions”, but he waits that “it will be better these days”, while it’s true that “it is very hot, but that it’s better for us.”

Feliciano: “People should be careful, sun can be dangerous.”

Luckily, Feliciano López has said about the high temperatures that “we’re used to it and we knew what where we coming to” so “we have to be ready so it will affect us little”, but he has warned that “people should be careful, sun can be dangerous.”
