Ok guys so here' the final blog from Rafa for the Times Online, hope you all have enjoyed it over the last couple of weeks and Vamos Rafa for winning!
First the Blog
Thankyou to the readers of my lucky blog:
Hello everyone,
This last post might come 1) late for some and 2) as a surprise for others. The truth is that I should have sent it through yesterday but as I landed in Madrid I thought about writing it at my hotel room. But I was really tired. I couldn't sleep much in the airplane during the flight and as I landed I had a press conference and went straight to the hotel to bed ... Sorry about that. Then I went to see last night Real Madrid against Ajax and enjoyed coming down to the pitch and salute all fans.
Well, I am back at home and wanted to take the chance to thank all of you who follow this blog. I said this was my lucky blog and there you go, I managed to win the US Open.
Many thanks and hope to be back soon.
Rafa
Now the Q&A:
I feel proud to win but don't compare me to Federer
Rafael Nadal answers his final set of questions after a triumphant fortnight at Flushing Meadows.
How does it feel to become the seventh Grand Slam winner in history? Charlene
It feels great. Probably better today than two days ago since I have had the chance to think more about it. I am really happy and proud!
How did you cope with the rain delay? What did you do to pass the time? Z Young
We are used to it. I was playing well, had confidence on my game and the way I was playing so it was not as bad as initially you can think. I simply thought about mistakes and tried to improve.
Will you also have your own tournament in Spain like Novak Djokovic has in Serbia? Cedrine
I don't think so but you never know.
Will a DVD be made of your match with Roger Federer to be sold for charity? Ros W
You will have to ask Carlos about it. I am not aware of it.
Do you think you can beat Roger's total of 16 grand-slam wins? Nik
I don't think so. What Roger has done is very big and difficult to achieve.
Do you really think you will never be better than Federer? Harry G
Yes I do. But I can also say that I will try to keep improving.
Novak Djokovic said "You’re the best" after your win. What's the nicest compliment you have ever been given? Caroline D
We have a great relationship. He is really a nice guy and I thank him for his words. This is probably one of the nicest things I have ever heard, specially since it came right after the final at the press conference too.
What will you do to celebrate? Danesh
I am finally back home and will celebrate with my friends and family simply doing a normal life.
