Rafael Nadal said he can't say if he is the best Spain sportsman ever, during an interview with El Chiringuito de Jugones: "I can't express an opinion like that on myself. Spain has a lot of great sportsmen and sportswomen, and it has had them throughout history. I, as a passionate follower, had a chance to enjoy the great things about sports that involved my country in recent years."

One of the highlights of the former world number one is his great mental strength he shows during difficult situations. One of the secrets, according to Rafa, is that athletes "don't think negative things that are happening in that moment, but think of solutions that you need to be taken to change the situation. At the present time I'm living, things are not going as I planned" analyzed Nadal.
Among the important things for Nadal, householdis is one of the most important. "Everyone is happy with one thing or the other.

Things that are more or less simple, make me happy. I have old friends, that I know since I was 4 years old, or at school or in groups. I see them every Saturday. My life didn't change, I still live with my parents and always keep continuity and stability. This makes me happy."
About the court, Nadal said: "I'm coming to Madrid in good physical shape. The tournaments in Madrid and Rome will be important for the upcoming Roland Garros."

he is trying to think positive but all his problems are from inactivity. back injury, wrist injury and that surgery also hurt a great deal.



he stopped putting in the long yards on fitness and his physicality work in the gym and he cut back drastically on his court practice time.



the result was a weakened Rafa with little or no consistency and with very poor movement compared to his own standards.




there is so little time left now until we get to Paris. you cant get strong and fit in a few days.



he is going to need some luck.
