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.

More quotes by Rafael Nadal
I was passionate about soccer. I still am. Odd, though - playing soccer always made me much more anxious than playing tennis. On soccer days, I'd be out of bed by 6 in the morning, all nervous. But I was always calm when it was time for a tennis match. I still don't know why.
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 love the beach. I love the sea. All my life I live within - in front of the sea.
Rafael Nadal
Losing is not my enemy..fear of losing is my enemy.
Rafael Nadal
I just try to win the match by fighting for every point, and running down every ball.
Rafael Nadal
Anyone could become a star, but everyone must be a human being.
Rafael Nadal
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.
Rafael Nadal
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 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
I have always tried to avoid regrets. Could I have done differently some things in my career? Maybe.
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
As a tennis player you can win and you can lose, and you have to be ready for both. I practised self-control as a kid. But as you get older they both - winning and losing - get easier.
Rafael Nadal
I have the same bedroom I've always had. It's clean and tidy when I get home, and after two or three days it gets messy and my mother nags me.
Rafael Nadal
It's important for the young players to practice other ball games as well, basketball or table tennis. On the tennis court, you can improve your eye through a kind of overexertion.
Rafael Nadal
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. I'm going to wait and I'm going to try a sixth time. And if the sixth doesn't happen, a seventh. It's going to be like this. That's the spirit of sport.
Rafael Nadal
If I am not playing at one hundred percent, it is going to be very difficult for me to win.
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'm delighted with the way I'm playing at the moment
Rafael Nadal
Everybody is doing the best things possible to still healthy and to play as long as possible.
Rafael Nadal
Seriously, 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.
