What happened happened. Important thing is what can come.
Rafael Nadal
Image
I'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 Nadal
Image
Even if I have already peaked, I have to believe I can improve. I wake up every morning, and go to practice, with the illusion that I'm going to get better that day.
Rafael Nadal
Image
I am not the most courageous guy in the world outside of the court.
Rafael Nadal
Image
Some people may learn something from the way I play tennis. But there are also players who are better than me in certain techniques.
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.

I have lived my whole life with high intensity.
Rafael Nadal
Image
I always work with a goal - and the goal is to improve as a player and a person. That, finally, is the most important thing of all.
Rafael Nadal
Image
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
Image
I don't expect never an easy match. I always expect difficult matches.
Rafael Nadal
Image
It is no longer enough to play very well. You need to be able to give an answer at all times and everywhere. You cannot hide. This has something to do with maturity, and that is something you only acquire over the years.
Rafael Nadal
Image
Tennis is beautiful when you can see tactics, when players don't just react but are able to act and think.
Rafael Nadal
Image
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
Image
You have to accept both losing and winning well. I've stayed calm when I'm winning and I've stayed calm when I've lost.

The 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.
