RAFAEL NADALMy serve can get better, for sure. It’s not just about serving bombs, but positioning, variation in speed, in spin.
RAFAEL NADALSome people may learn something from the way I play tennis. But there are also players who are better than me in certain techniques.
RAFAEL NADALI am lucky because my family are comfortably off. My father has his own glass business.
RAFAEL NADALIt should not be a child’s only goal to become the best player in the world. That would be a bad, a harmful attitude.
RAFAEL NADALWhat happened happened. Important thing is what can come.
RAFAEL NADALEverybody likes to say that Roger Federer is the Greatest Player of all time because its so nice to watch him play…but you have got to throw in Nadal’s Mind as well…and That’s the GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!!
RAFAEL NADALI am happy with being a tennis player and the choice I took when I was 12. But clearly, if I wouldnt have been a tennis player, I would have loved to be a soccer player. But again, I am happy with the choice I made.
RAFAEL NADALIt is the small steps which bring you satisfaction at the end of the day.
RAFAEL NADALI’m not the best player in the history of tennis. I think I’m amongst the best. That’s true. That’s enough for me.
RAFAEL NADALI was shy when I was a kid, I was very shy, but now I think I’ve improved a lot. I can speak OK with the media and with the people. My English is still bad but I feel a little bit better now than before.
RAFAEL NADALI play each point like my life depends on it.
RAFAEL NADALEveryone is entitled to have their own opinions.
RAFAEL NADALI am not a person who I am thinking about what I achieved or what I don’t achieve. I am a person who try to enjoy the moment. That’s what I do.
RAFAEL NADALI will do as I usually do. Tomorrow is going to be a day like any other day.
RAFAEL NADALI would love to learn other languages, maybe French? My uncle speaks German so maybe also German? Chinese seems to be too difficult.
