Barcelona Metropolis
He is the most decorated theatre director in Catalonia today and the one capable of bringing together the most people in a room. The secret to his appeal lies in his enthusiastic, energetic, contemporary style of doing things, which comes to the fore on stage and rubs off on the audience. Beguiling, with a piercing gaze and a charming smile, as an actor he has starred in some of the most brilliant scripts of Catalan theatre in the 21st century. He knows what he is looking for when he takes on a theatrical project. And he isn’t afraid of waiting.

RAFAEL NADAL: Well, I think he played a good match. He started so strong. I fight until the end with. There were things I could do better. Had the right attitude. I fighted right up to the last ball.
But I need something else, I need something more that was not there today. I going to keep working to try to find.
But, yes, was a very, very close match that anything could happen. Just congratulate the opponent that probably he played with better decision than me the last couple of points.
Q. You were a break up in the last set. You have so much experience…
RAFAEL NADAL: Experience, when you are 4-3 in the fifth, 30-Love, is not a question of experience, no? Is a question of play a little bit better than what I did. That’
