This is what Rafa said:
Nadal: "It's a pleasure play in Madrid. Today I had a day to forget but this week I recovered good feelings. Now I'll try again in Roma.
I feel that this week is positive. I'm not disappointed. I'm looking for play in a good level for two weeks in a row.
I lost my confidence from the beginning. My backhand today didn't work at well. Murray was better than me. I couldn't pressure him.
I didn't play well at the key moments to comeback in the match. I had chances but I did a bad game at the beginning of second set.
I'll arrive tomorrow to Roma. I want to have a positive week. It's different play without altitude conditions. I'll die to try.
Be ranked No.7 changes nothing for Roland Garros. Maybe if I'm out of Top8. It's normal when you're out by six months.
Reach a final never is a bad result. I'll fight to end the season into the Top4. If I can't reach it, I'll accept that situation
Rafa:"The backhand, I will fix", Nadal in english. Says wanna forget this day cause it's not time to be negative. "I cannot leave Madrid not happy. I have to leave Madrid happy and just delete what happened today."
"Be ranked No.7 changes nothing for Roland Garros. Maybe if I'm out of Top8. It's normal when you're out by six months".

Excellent read. Thanks for posting it lady TT.
We will hope for the best for Rafa.
No more injuries and no more setbacks.
He can't afford any injuries in 2015.
It is hard enough to catch those horses so far out in front without any injuries.
May the gods give him the strength to retain his RG crown.
That will fix quite a few issues instantly.
