If you want to belong to the best, you need good technique and, perhaps even more importantly, a good eye. If you see the ball sooner, you have more time to think about how and where to return it.
RAFAEL NADALIf you want to belong to the best, you need good technique and, perhaps even more importantly, a good eye. If you see the ball sooner, you have more time to think about how and where to return it.
RAFAEL NADALYou just try to play tough and focus point for point. Sounds so boring, but it’s the right thing to do out there.
RAFAEL NADALI will do as I usually do. Tomorrow is going to be a day like any other day.
RAFAEL NADALSeriously, I am not a person that I think much about what happened or what didn’t happen or what could happen. I happy about the things that happened to me. I’m a lucky person, for sure, for all the things that happened to me during my life.
RAFAEL NADALIs only a tennis match. At the end, that’s life. There is much more important things.
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 NADALMy serve can get better, for sure. It’s not just about serving bombs, but positioning, variation in speed, in spin.
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 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 NADALThe US player Andy Roddick reaches speeds of 220 kilometers per hour when he serves. If I train with him every day, I will later be at an advantage against a player whose service crosses the net at 190 kilometers per hour.
RAFAEL NADALI am lucky because my family are comfortably off. My father has his own glass business.
RAFAEL NADALIt is the small steps which bring you satisfaction at the end of the day.
RAFAEL NADALTennis is beautiful when you can see tactics, when players don’t just react but are able to act and think.
RAFAEL NADALWhat happened happened. Important thing is what can come.
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 play each point like my life depends on it.
