text: Q. Is it more satisfying to be in the final of a Masters or to beat Federer for the first time on an indoor surface? Do you think today Federer played well, not well, you played very well?
  RAFAEL NADAL: Always is the same, no? Most satisfying thing always is the tournament more than the personal victories. So for me is more important be in the final in the last tournament of the year than I have the chance to win against Roger, no?
  I think the tournament is important one. So to be able to win the final is much more important than any victory against any opponent.
  I think Roger played really aggressive, that’s my feeling. The beginning, his serve worked very well. My feeling is in the first set, he played very well. He was closer than me to have the break. So in my opinion until 4‑All, he was playing better than me, in my opinion.
  I saved a few important breakpoints, very important ones, and then I played a good game when I had the break. Especially I played with good determination the breakpoint. I think I played a great point in the first breakpoint.
