More quotes by Rafael Nadal
I am going to fight for important things.
Rafael Nadal
The bad thing about the [tennis] calendar is how it is made and obligates you to play tournaments all year. If you want to achieve the most you can (and) go as high up (in the rankings) as you can, you have to play from the start to the finish because there are important tournaments from the beginning to the end.
Rafael Nadal
I just try to win the match by fighting for every point, and running down every ball.
Rafael Nadal
You know, a lot of things changed. What never changed is the illusion to keep playing tennis, the illusion to keep doing well the things, and the illusion to be in a good position of the ranking and play these kind of matches.
Rafael Nadal
It's more a tennis problem than a mental problem. The transition is difficult. It depends how much time you have. Playing on grass can sometimes be a bit of a lottery.
Rafael Nadal
Two weeks ago, I was in a fantastic situation, winning at Roland Garros. Now, losing in the first round, it's tough. The tour continues. Life continues. This is a sport of victories, not a sport of losses. Nobody remembers the losses. I don't want to remember the loss.
Rafael Nadal
When one gets beaten by somebody better, one has to know how to lose with humility. Sure, I could have served better. Sure, I could have hit my forehand harder. But the truth was this was like an avalanche, and there was no way to stop it.
Rafael Nadal
My serve can get better, for sure. It's not just about serving bombs, but positioning, variation in speed, in spin.
Rafael Nadal
Most important thing, I am not a player who win the serves because I serve aces or free points, no. When I winning a lot of serves is because I am playing well from the baseline. That's why.
Rafael Nadal
My tennis is aggressive, though I wouldn't say that it's more physical than technical. I rely more on technique than physique, but being physical is always a help to me.
Rafael Nadal
I have lived my whole life with high intensity.
Rafael Nadal
What happened happened. Important thing is what can come.
Rafael Nadal
Something that works for one person could be a disadvantage to another.
Rafael Nadal
I always had the theory that the most important thing is be happy, enjoy what are you doing, and be fresh mentally.
Rafael Nadal
My goal is to improve my game, stay healthy and be competitive. If I have that, I know I can be able to win tournaments, which in the end is what it counts.
Rafael Nadal
It's hard to say, 'I don't believe in God.' I would love to know if God exists. But it's a very difficult thing for me to believe.
Rafael Nadal
Tennis is beautiful when you can see tactics, when players don't just react but are able to act and think.
Rafael Nadal
I appreciate a lot in this life the things you cannot buy. Life is only once. I am happy being here and all the things that are a risk I normally avoid.
Rafael Nadal
I'm delighted and feel incredibly happy with what have been an amazing two months.
Rafael Nadal
Honesty, willingness to exert oneself, friendship - all these things shaped me too.
Rafael Nadal
