SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Rafael Nadal, ATP 500 Rio Open winner
(On winning the ATP 500 Rio Open after Australia):

"I didn't arrive with my best preparation because I came from a period where my back was not good. I had training sessions but I could not practice. Well, on the question that matters, I have had better days, and I've had worse days. Today, I have had a solid game, better than yesterday's, I'm sure of it. And now I won this title, that, obviously, every title makes you very happy when it happens in great cities like Rio is and esspecially at the first edition of a tournament that is big like this one. And coming from a problem at the back, it's a beautiful feeling, and, obviously, it is important for me return to play and win again after what happened at the final game in Australia."

SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Rafael Nadal, ATP 500 Rio Open winner (on playing in Brazil):

"Brazil has always been a special country to me I have played here three times and won the three times. I will go home with the feeling that Brazil is something special for me and I hope I can come back to Rio before the 2016 Olympic Games and we will see what will happen."
