я бы не делала никаких далеко идущих и заходящих выводов из этого матча и результата. оба размялись, играли без напряга и для публики. Дельпо уже вполне адаптирован к харду, Рафа провел свой первый матч на харде за много месяцев. все получилось хорошо и ко всеобщему удовольствию. а результаты и смысл их я бы проанализировала на кортах Indian Wells.

Juan Martin Del Potro
J. MARTIN DEL POTRO/T. Haas 6‑1, 6‑2
THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.
Q. That looked like a particularly good performance today. One of your best for a little while, maybe? JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: Yeah, yeah, I think it was my best match of the tournament, for sure. I played so solid on the baseline, trying to hit hard the ball with my forehand. I served well, and that's what I need to play against Murray in the next round. Be aggressive all the time and find the lines with my forehands and serves.
Q. What would you say your form is like at the moment? Not just today, but... JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: I'm still having some feelings on my wrist, but nothing dangerous. I have tomorrow to recover it, to do my treatments, and then be ready for Friday. If I'm still going in this way, improving a little day by day, maybe I will be in good form on Friday.
Q. Talk a little about playing Andy and that matchup. You have had a few interesting matches in the past. JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: Yeah, of course. Well, now we are much older and ‑‑
Q. Wiser? JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: ‑‑and smart and we are friends and we have good relationship and we share many things together. Of course play against him is a big challenge for me. He already won the US Open last year, made finals in Australia, and he's doing very fantastic career beating the top guys and fighting for the first position, as well. So it's gonna be interesting match for me.
Q. What are your thoughts on the new Pope from Argentina? JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: Well, we are so proud of him. He's the first Pope from South America, I think. He's so big for our own country, also. I wish all the best to him. I think he's gonna do his work perfect. I wish the best for him. And I'm very Catholic, so I like this new decision.
Q. You've been to Rome obviously, the tournament there. Have you been to the Vatican? JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: Yeah. Maybe I will have the chance to meet him in Rome if Nicola do his job. (Laughter.) Q.Can you talk about the role that religion or your faith plays in your performance? Do you rely on faith to get you through tough situations, or how does it factor in? JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: About what?
Q. Your faith? Do you use your faith to help you through tough situations on court or off court? JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: Well, I'm trying to be calm all the time thinking be positive all the time, and that's help me to play my best tennis in the worstest moment, you know. Today I think I play really well, but yesterday I had a few moments really bad for when I was serving, and I need to be calm and positive all the time. That things make the difference between the top guys and the rest of the players.
Q. Do you know Pope Francis at all? Are you familiar with him? He seemed to have a tremendous warmth and intelligence. Have you ever had any encounters with him or do you know of him? JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: I don't understand what you mean.
Q. The new Pope. JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: Yeah, yeah. About the new Pope? Yeah, what I say. Maybe I will have the chance to meet him in Rome. I don't know what can I say about this. For me and for our country and for Argentinian people, it's so big. Was so impressive for us when they mentioned the new Pope and also his name. I think he deserve to be there, so it's very nice for us.
Q. Do you follow women's tennis in Argentina? Because in Fed Cup Britain is playing Argentina in April. JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: Yeah, well, they follow a lot Gisela Dulko, but she retired.
Q. You don't know the next ones too much? JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: Yeah, I think Ormaechea is doing well.
Q. She won a title, I think. JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: First title weeks ago. She has a good future. I know her coach. I know her also, and she's very nice. She plays well on clay courts, and the clay court is coming soon, so maybe she can do big jump.
Q. A lot of singles players have started to play more and more doubles. Can you talk about your decision not to play doubles as much and what goes into that decision? JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: Well, I like to play doubles, but in the biggest tournament is not easy if your goal is go far in singles, you know. I was trying to play doubles in Rotterdam, but Llodra pulled out for injuries; and here I don't like to play because I want to be focused on my singles. And Miami, if I play there and I go bad in singles, I want to have a few days for rest after that tournament before the clay season. So it's not easy take a good tournament to play doubles. But in the past I play a lot with Mardy Fish and other guys. I like to play doubles, and the next tournament, if I find a good tournament, I will be playing.

Juan Martin del Potro Press Conference Indian Wells, USA 15.03.2013
J. DEL POTRO/A. Murray 6-7, 6-3, 6-1
An interview with: JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO
THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.
Q. You beat for the first time Andy Murray on hard court. That's a big win, obviously. JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: Yeah, of course. I was close to beat him in 2009 in Montreal finals, but I did today. I played my best match of the tournament. I was positive all the time, even when I lost the first set, tough first set. But in the end, I play my game. I be aggressive all the time, I'm hitting all the time hard the ball with my forehands, and I play a few slices as well and dropshots. I think I did a very good game today.
Q. What keeps you positive in this match? You played well against Haas. Is it confidence from past matches? Is it the Pope? (Laughter.) JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: I don't know what happened, but I think I improve in my game match by match. Against Tommy Haas I play well, but today I played better. On basically the second set and the third set I was serving really, really well, and that's what I need for big confidence with my forehands and the rest of my game. Of course beating Murray or the top guys is something special for me, and I'm so glad.
Q. You're very powerful, but you were playing steady, very consistent throughout the match, no? JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: Yeah, I think I played very solid. Trying to make winners when I had the chance with my forehands. I was calm every time and playing slices, trying to see very clearly the ball when I had the ball in my forehands to do the winners, and I save a few break points. That was important for me to still up in the match. In the end, I think I play my best tennis of the week.
Q. You said you were using your slice quite a bit. Was that tactical against Murray, or is your wrist okay? JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: Yeah, both, both things. I use it because my coach told me that, and thanks to him, you know. But tomorrow against Nole I will need to play better than today. I remember the match in Dubai I was close to win the second set, but he takes all the chances to beat me. He's the No. 1. You never know if he give to you a little chance to win, you know.
Q. I know it was a different surface and it was a different time, but how much will you take away from the Olympic bronze medal match when you played Novak? JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: Well, that match was very special for me. Then we play in Cincinnati, in the US Open, and Dubai, and he beat me all the time. But I think that the most important matches I beat him, for sure. But all matches are close with him. He already beat me in Dubai in two sets, very close two sets. Tomorrow I need to play better than today. Basically if I have a very close match like the first set as today, they don't give us opportunities. So we need to be very focused on that chances and trying to take.
Q. You had that fabulous win in New York and then the terrible injury. Could you just talk about this time that you have been back on the tour now where you have had many great wins but not another huge breakthrough. Could you just talk about your feelings about this period of your career? JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: Yeah, I'm feeling so happy to be playing tennis again, and I think I go through another big moment in my career when I got the bronze medal. I don't know if it's big like win a Grand Slam, but for me and for my country and for myself, for my game, was too big, as well. I'm in the semifinals in a big tournament. Last year I made semis in Masters in London. I beat Roger. I beat Djokovic after my comeback in the Davis Cup. I think I am fit, and that's important for me, for myself. But I'm doing very good career.
Q. Physically how are you feeling? How is your wrist? 100%? JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: Yeah, I'm okay. I'm getting closer to be 100%.
Q. Are you going to be seeking an audience with the Pope? JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: Yeah. Well, what I say before, Nicola, he's doing the job to meet him in Rome, maybe. (Laughing.) THE MODERATOR: (Pretending to text Pope Francis.) (Laughter.)
Q. Did you do any change with the two handed backhand because of the wrist? JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: I'm trying to not change anything, but sometimes when I feel something I play slices or different way of my backhand. But I'm trying to don't change a lot, because when I get the okay my wrist, I will need to hit my backhand as I hit before. If I change my tennis it will be worse for me.
Q. You had some bad luck with the challenges early on. Have you ever run out of challenges that early in a set before? JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: No, I think it's my first time. I don't know what's happen, but the umpire and the linesman, they show perfect and it was my mistakes. It's not easy play without challenge, you know. You feel like nervous all the time and you have to trust in the umpire all the time. You cannot do nothing. But I had luck to close the match in the last game when he's double fault, and also he didn't ask for the challenge so was good.
Q. When you miss that many, is it ever funny to you or just frustrating? JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: No, it's frustrating, for sure. Yeah.

BNP PARIBAS OPEN INDIAN WELLS, CALIFORNIA March 16, 2013
Juan Martin Del Potro
J. DEL POTRO/N. Djokovic 4‑6, 6‑4, 6‑4
THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.
Q. What was on your mind when you were down 3‑Love in the third set? JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: (Shaking head.) I don't know. Nothing, just keep fighting and enjoying the semifinals. I was doing a very good match until the third set, but Novak had the chance to beat me when I was 3‑Love. But I come back soon, and that give me a little confidence to come back in that set. Then also the crowd want to watch more tennis and help me to play my best tennis in the end, and I think it was my best match in this tournament, for sure.
Q. You also came back from losing the first set against Murray yesterday. Looking back at that, did that memory help you come back today? JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: No, no, I never think about my yesterday match. Djokovic is completely different player. He's the No. 1 and always is a big challenge against him. I was so close to lose because he got the chance to beat me, but I think I got lucky in very important moments, very important points when I made a fantastic winners on my forehands. Also good aces, and that's help me to go through.
Q. Did the time violation actually make you concentrate a little more? JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: I was expecting the time violation.
Q. You were? JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: Yeah, because I took too much time before the last point. But Mohammed told me before, so...
Q. So you knew it was coming? JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: Yeah, yeah, I knew. So this time it was okay.
Q. Your backhand slice was particularly good. You used it yesterday and you used it today. Can you talk about that shot and how effective it was for you? JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: Yeah, I use it a lot, because that help me to play more aggressive with my forehand and trying to do different things. That help me to beat Murray yesterday; today Nole. I don't know if I'm going to use tomorrow against Rafa because he's lefty and he move really, really fast in the baseline. But what I know about him is playing more aggressive than today, trying to make a few winners with my forehands, coming a lot to the net, and I need to serve well also.
Q. What allowed you to turn the match around? What was the point that you felt helped you turn it? Was it the crowd? Was it you? Novak said he felt he didn't deserve to win the match even at that stage. What do you think was... JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: I think was really close match. I go 3‑Love down, and then I was close to go to 4‑3 and playing very good tennis. Nole also was playing well, but I think I was aggressive all the time. He couldn't do what he likes like in Dubai, you know, and that was because of my game, you know. I'm trying to hit hard with my forehands. When I have the chance to come to the net, I did all the time. And on my serve, I was just focus to put it in my first serve and move to my forehands, trying to make winners.
Q. How are you feeling physically? It was a pretty demanding three‑set match against Murray. JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: Yeah, also the weather was...
Q. And then tomorrow. JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: The weather was really, really hot for both. But I have the night for recovery. I would like to enjoy the finals, for sure and then be ready. He's a big challenge for me also, but I know I'm going to play against Rafa. He will win want to win this tournament, for sure, and it's going to be very interesting match.
Q. With these back‑to‑back wins over Murray and Djokovic now, do you buy this notion at all? People are talking about the Pope a lot, obviously and about Messi obviously and this being a year for Argentina. JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: You think it's about the Pope?
Q. Do you feel there is some good energy around Argentina maybe helping you? JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: (Smiling.) I don't know. I don't know why or‑‑ but, yeah, you can say what you like because the Pope has come in and then I beat Murray, Djokovic. Could be something, but I don't think so. I talk a lot about the Pope yesterday and the days ago. I would like to enjoy my moment, the finals tomorrow, and then I will need be ready for tomorrow.
Q. Do you think you are closer to your level of 2009? JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: Four years ago, I don't remember. (Smiling.) But I am playing well. The results show my level, and of course I feel some things to improve on my game like I am doing here, using the slices. Also would like to come more often to the net. But I'm working on that. Every tournament is a chance to do it. I think I'm doing well here in Indian Wells.
Q. Did the fact that the final part of the matches both yesterday and today were played in the shade when the court was already in the shade ‑ because you looked quite tired on 3‑2 and played really long rallies ‑ and then you had a lot of energy to come in with your forehand? JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: Yeah, of course. Change a lot when the shadows come and cover all the court, you know. But was in the end. Only the last game was completely covered. But tomorrow is gonna be early the final, and I'm going to see the shadow, for sure.
Q. What do you have to do tomorrow to win? JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO: Everything perfect. (Smiling.) Everything perfect. It's the final against Rafa. For sure I need to play better and better every day. All finals are special to play. Also when you play the top guys, they are the favorites, but I will try to do my game like just like today and then see if Rafa give me a little chance to win.

BNP Paribas Open Indian Wells, U.S.A.
RESULTS - SUNDAY, 17 MARCH, 2013
Singles - Final [5] R Nadal (ESP) d [7] J Del Potro (ARG) 46 63 64
FINAL REVIEW – NADAL MAKES MASTERS 1000 HISTORY; NOTCHES 600TH WIN • Fifth seed Rafael Nadal won a record-breaking 22nd ATP World Tour Masters 1000 crown and celebrated his third triumph in Indian Wells. • In defeating del Potro, Nadal joined Roger Federer as the only active players to reach 600 match wins. • With a 17-1 record in 2013, Nadal has posted his best season start, winning three consecutive trophies. • Nadal improved to a 53-22 record in tour-level finals. • Del Potro was contesting his second ATP World Tour Masters 1000 final (Montreal 2009).
WHAT THE PLAYERS SAID
Rafael Nadal: "A lot of things happened the last seven months, [so] to be back here and to have this very heavy trophy with me is amazing. Beating three Top 10 players and winning a title like this is just something unbelievable for me. I'm very, very happy and very emotional."
"When you have one comeback like I'm having, you remember all the low things, the lower moments that you had during the seven months. Hopefully I passed and can just remember all the people that really helped me a lot during all this time."
Juan Martin del Potro: "I think Rafa deserved to win. The last hour of the match, he played so solid and put me so far [from] the baseline and made winners. But I think I [had] a good tournament anyway, and Rafa played really well today in the second and third sets. He broke me early in the third. Playing against him when the score is down is tougher. I was fighting all the time but he won in the end."
