Rafa: Today I have played a bit better

The seed no.1 was happy about his tennis to comment I think today I played a little bit better than yesterday.  For a long time I was playing at a good level, I think, changing directions very well and playing with the right intensity. At 4-1 in the second set I stopped a little bit with my legs. Seppi is a player that takes the ball early. If you are not playing from inside, you are in big trouble. I lost a little intensity, made a few mistakes. I was lucky to have the break back again.”

This is Nadal’s 300 win on clay.
