2008 US OPEN ROUND 2

Q. Have you been following Nadal's matches? Like did you watch him last night on TV, or...

ROGER FEDERER: No, I missed both matches, actually.


Q. Why don't you just zero in...

ROGER FEDERER: I schedule my life around my life, not his life. (laughter.)

I was gone for dinner and he decided to do it quick, so I missed the ‑‑ I was expecting five sets. I was there for four and five, but he wasn't there anymore, so that was that was problem.

And the other day, I don't know where he was when he was playing Phau. I guess I was in the city.

2008 US OPEN ROUND 2

Q. Do you want to call yourself the best player in the world now? Because Roger said the other day that the cheers from the fans led him to think that he is still the best player.

RAFAEL NADAL: You know, no, this week I am the No. 1. I don't know in three weeks what number I going to be, no?

So some days ago I was No. 2; this week I'm the No. 1. But if you can say me right now you are the best player of the world, you never know, no? Depends of the week.


Q. But do you have a better chance to finish No. 1 end of the year?

RAFAEL NADAL: If I have good chance? (Through translation.) I have my chances, yes. I have good points. But going to be important. Right now every match is very important in US Open, no?

I have Monday, right now, today, so next match will be important. So every match is very important, important because a lot points. Every match you win you get a lot of points. Right now every point is important if I want to finish No. 1, no?


Q. What type of relationship, if any, do you have with Roger Federer?

RAFAEL NADAL: What type of relationship?


Q. Yes. Are you friends, cordial?

RAFAEL NADAL: I don't know. We had ‑‑ we have very good relationship. My friends are in Mallorca. I say already. My friends are from the school from five years old.

My English is still ‑‑ well, is almost perfect, but can improve. (Laughter) So, you know, always is very tough have very close friend with my English.

But for sure we have a good relationship, no? We talk always a lot.

Heck, Federer speaks 3 languages already, he should throw Rafa a bone and learn Spanish. You know, for the sake of their relationship
