Rafael Nadal

In Majorca, I can be myself. I go to the supermarket and the cinema, and I am just Rafa. Everyone knows me, and it is no big deal. I can go all day - no photographs.

When one player is better than you, at this moment, the only thing you can do is work, try to find solutions and try to wait a little bit for your time.
