SOUNDBITE (English) Andy Murray, defeated David Ferrer 7-6, 6-2, 5-7, 6-1:

(Q. You've had some tough matches in the past against David. What made the difference today compared to the other times?)

"Clay is a surface for me that I think in general, experience helps on this surface. I mean, a lot of players maybe didn't grow up on it tend to have better years the more time they spend on the surface. So I feel like obviously this year I played much better tennis on the clay. I feel like I understand how I have to play on the surface better than I did, you know, in the past. Yeah, playing much better than I was a couple years ago."

(Q. What will be the keys, in your opinion, compared to other times you have played Novak in this season?)

"We have only played once or twice on the clay. Last time we played I think was in Rome, and I served for the match there and, you know, played some good tennis. But, yeah, it's going to be a tough match. I'm going to have to come up with a good game plan, and, you know, try to stick to it throughout, which is something that I feel like I have done pretty well the last couple of months. Yeah, that's the most important thing from my side."

(Q. The end of the third set, how were you? Did you feel confident? Were you tired?)

"I feel good. I tried to do my best, but finally I can't win. I think only he was better than me. I didn't serve so good in all the match, and he played with more power than me."
