Rafael Nadal was satisfied with his first victory in the London 2020 group of the Masters Cup. The Spaniard did not concede a single break ball and signed his third most comfortable win in a debut.

Matches to five sets. "I am totally against the 'Grand Slam' matches being the best of three sets. This is part of the story. If it was changed in the Masters 1,000 it is because the next tournament could not be done."

Match with Thiem. "He has improved every year and deserves all the successes because he is a worker. The game with him will be a great challenge. What I have is to try to play at my highest level otherwise it will be impossible. Today we have to forget about whether He's more of a gravel specialist because he's reached the final in Australia and won the US Open and Indian Wells. Dominic is a specialist on all surfaces. "

Debut. "It is a positive debut to win in two sets. It is important for confidence, I have been very solid with the serve. I have played against someone who has had a great season and I wish him the best from now on. It was not a perfect match. He has made more mistakes than usual. Every game is a world against opponents of maximum difficulty. "

Thiem could be number two. "I would rather finish two than three. But for a long time I have not followed the ranking when choosing the calendar. I look at my body. I know where I have to play well. I have to be smart when I choose what my goals are."

London bubble. "The world is suffering a lot and we are lucky that we play tennis. Of course we are more bored than normal without family, without going out to dinner. We cannot complain. We must give thanks for being able to do our work thanks to the ATP and the 'Grand Slam'. Many tournaments are even losing money to organize things. "

New Djokovic association. "I have not spoken with Djokovic about this. But because they believe this organization does not mean that they help more than Federer or myself. If we compare the circuit now with seven years ago it has improved a lot. We do not think that something different is needed2.

Physique and head. "I have to do well tennis. The other things help if the tennis is of the highest level. Physically I am well, but it is already known that anything can happen."

16 qualifications for the Masters. "They have been many years of proper attitude and great consistency. I have managed to qualify every year since 2005."
