DOB: September 20, 1981 in Toledo, Spain.

Tennis Inspiration: “Stefan Edberg. Because of him, I like the way he played, behaved but I like the way he was very quiet and very gentleman on court. I also like the way he played.”

Hobbies/Leisure Activities: “I like cinema. I love soccer. I love to watch the games when we are at home in Madrid. When I come back to Spain, I don’t have like so much time after practice and everything during the day. So the only thing I do is go to cinema, go to soccer games or go to dinner with friends.”

Favorite Movie: “Braveheart I like a lot. This is the only one I think.”

Musical Tastes: “I like Julio Iglesias. Laura Boccini – Italian singer. And I like many music styles like disco, dance, everything.”

Early Tennis Memory: “When my father (Feliciano) went with me on the court when I was five years old, me and my brother (Victor). I don’t remember any special moment, it was just my father, brother and me. My father bought me a tennis racquet when I was five at Christmas. That’s why I play tennis now, because of him.”

Favorite Meal: “Pasta, tomato.”

Favorite Ice Cream Flavor: “Haagen Dazs.”

First Job: “I don’t have.”

First Car: “2003 Porsche (black).”

Funny Tennis Memory: “I remember one — my father threw a racquet over my head when I missed a forehand from the other side of the net [laughs].”

Pre-Match Feeling: “Like a little nervous when you have to go on the court, especially in the stomach.”

Greatest Sports Moment: “Greatest moment…to win the Davis Cup (2008, 2009). And to be in the quarterfinals in Wimbledon (d. Safin, Ancic in 2005).”

Most Painful Moment: “When I had a wrist injury in 2000 I think, or 1999, I don’t remember.”

Favorite Tournament: “Madrid.”

Closest Tennis Friends: “Nadal, [Fernando] Verdasco — I know him for many years. My father was his coach.”

Funniest Players Encountered: “Verdasco is very funny. [Alex] Corretja. [Marat] Safin is funny [smiles]. I think he’s funny on the court. He’s such a good player and such a good personality on the court and I think the people love him.”

Toughest Competitors: “Federer, Agassi, Nadal — I think those three.”

Embarrassing Tennis Memory: “To play Davis Cup for the first time I think I was really nervous. (How did you do?) I played doubles (lost with Corretja), it was in the final against Australia. (Spain lost 3-1 in Melbourne in 2003).”

People Qualities Most Admired: “To be generous I think. Honest.”
