I've translated into English an old ITW of JC which was published in a french magazine last september. I apologize if I didn't share it with you all earlier :blush: , studies take up all my time, but here it is! :)

I hope you'll like it, don't take attention to the several faults of language.

From "Court Central", sep. 2004
Rallies with Juan Carlos Ferrero

What sportsmen do you admire the most?
Sete Gibernau, a racing driver, and Raul, from the Real Madrid soccer team. In a general way, I enjoy motor races, football and golf.

What have you got in your pocket?
Here, right now, I haven't got anything, but as a rule I've got my cell phone and my wallet.

If you could move in a flash, where would you go right now?
In Africa, I would go and spend some days in a nature reserve.

Imagine that you have a whole hour to spend 100€. How would you use it?
I wouldn't buy anything. I 'd rather go on a racing circuit with a view to drive fast cars.

What made you want to play tennis?
My father played tennis and I started with him in Valencia. See where I'm now!

If you had to, what present would you give to your worst enemy?
In fact, I haven't really got enemies. Neither on court, nor off court.

What's the first-ever beautiful present you bought yourself after becoming a professional?
I bought myself a car, a Mitsubishi.

Who's your favourite super-hero?
Rocky.

Do you cook?
Not enough. But I wanna learn. My girlfriend and I want to have cook classes with a chef in order to be able to prepare odd dishes at home.

Who would you dream about invite to have diner?Ugh...I don't know. Actresses, maybe. Cameron Diaz or Michelle Pfeiffer.

Who's your best friend on the tour?
I've got several friends on tour such as Spanish or South American players. My best friend is both a tennis player and my flatmate in my academy, in Villena. At the moment, he's ranked 500 on average, and he's called Israel Matos.

What's the last book you've read?
Da Vinci Code! I luv' it!

What are the CD you listen to the most?
I like hip-hop and spanish groups such as Estopa, Alejandro Sanz or Extremoduro.

What kind of animal would you like to be reincarnated into?
Into a bull. He's so powerful!

What do your perfect holidays look like?
In a very small island with very few people, where we could do water sports or sleep all day long.

JC has taste, that is a brilliant book.

Thank you for posting this señorita ferrero. I hope he will give equally interesting answers to his BBC interview. :)

In fact, I haven't really got enemies. Neither on court, nor off court. --> this is such a 'Juanki' answer. ;)

Thanks for sharing señorita ferrero!!

Nice interview!
I am shocked that the last book he read is Da Vinci Code. I am reading that at the moment!! Good taste JC.

Already read it in french. -_-

^ Always up-to-date, aren't you :P

haha he's such a real guy - totally obsessed with anything that involves a motor

Who would you dream about invite to have diner?
Ugh...I don't know. Actresses, maybe. Cameron Diaz or Michelle Pfeiffer.
...hehe

So am I! I mean, I didn't imagine that he would spend time reading (=>expected him to play PlayStation instead ;) ) ...seems that we discover each day another hidden sides of JC's personnality!! :rolleyes:

Am i the only one who this the Da Vinci code is a bad book?
anyway thanks for posting the interview!

Funny interview, thanx señoruta ferrero. He's going to learn cooking with his girlfriend!! so they're live together ?
He listen to Estopa and Alejandro sanz (like me), now, when I listen them I'll be thinking in JC :rolleyes:

pity that also applies to moi :P

ohh, that's awesome! cameron diaz is so cool and so is michelle pfeiffer! hehe :P

now that is such a juanqui answer hehehe :wub:

wow, that's cool, michelle pheiffer went to the high school i'm going to now. awesome JC. thanks for posting!

what's a nice guy!!!!!!

Thanks for the interview!! That was fun.

wooo! JC has nice taste in music too. yay for Estopa and A. Sanz. lol.

nice nice nice

man he got taste!
just that he hears hip hop i don't like cause i prefere metal but that's ok. i mean everyone got his own character.
ACE

haha yeah, but i doubt juanqui's a big music person, if u know what i mean......he probably just goes with whatever his gf likes or something or what was last on the radio haha

Juanqui is just so adorable! :wub: I haven't read the Da Vinci code...but will do so LOL!

Is it ok if I use this interview at my group?

:) There's no problem about using it in your group Arwelya, I translated it from a french tennis magazine so it's all public.
Hope you enjoy it. :flower:

Thank you very much! :flower:

:flower: You're welcome! :)

woaah..the da vinci code..didnt think he'd like that book!....so very cultured!

Nice interview ! ... thanks

Who's your favourite super-hero?
Rocky.

Who?? :omg: sorry I don't know

[QUOTE]Who would you dream about invite to have diner?Ugh...I don't know. Actresses, maybe. Cameron Diaz or Michelle Pfeiffer.

Why most guys like Diaz? ... haha :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

So funny ! @ RG 2003, he was being interviewed by french journalists, and they asked him "Who's your favorite football player ?" and he answered "My favorite is Raul", so the french ppl were disapointed and they said "We thought you would say Zidane" so he smiled and said "Zidane, Zidane he's unbelievable" !! ;)

i really like the intervieuw now i'm know more about him now i know a lot about him also off court :D

I heard of that too! I had a great laugh when he replied that, he was sooo cute with his spanish accent!! :wub:

There was a journalist sitting right beside him, and as she was listening to him, she kept staring at him as if he was a huge chocolate cake (tu sum up her portrait, she was in her 30's, married and honeslty she didn't look that pretty) , poor juanqui! :lol:

Poor Valérie Perez (she's the journalist you're talking about !!), she's not ugly ! But she's lucky cuz she's the one who interviewes the players @ RG, and she always asks them funny questions !

sure, she's lucky! I wonder if she would let us take her place for the next RG.... ;)

Hahaha guess why i wanna be a sport journalist ?! JK

Whahaha... that guy's insane if he meant Rocky from the movie :lol: ...aww JC, you crazy pie you. :wub:

Rocky's Lley's fav super-hero too !

Why do men always seem to list Rocky as a favorite super hero? I guess it's the whole coming from nothing to nearly winning, but I don't see it.

Rocky didn't even win! At least in the first Rocky....

-_- but who am I to judge

I've never seen rocky. All I know is that he's a boxer and yells "ADRIAN!!!" a lot or something.

At least they don't say Batman

LOL @ Tracey

LOL you know what? You take Valérie Pérez's place, and I do the same with Nelson Monfort.... ;) how about it?

how is Rocky a superhero? that doesnt make sense to me, he doesnt wear a costume or have any super powers. Someone needs to define superhero

Naaaah, Nelson's my friend, so I don't wanna take his place ! ^_^ Working with him wud be fine ;)

:unsure: ugh, so where could we work?
