I don't have any idols, any heroes, nothing, no.
Rafael Nadal
Image
I don't think about how going to be the match. I think about try to do the right things to win. I don't think about how easy can say or how tough can say. I go on court. I try my best.
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 live where I would like to live. I live in Majorca, Spain, and I am not sure there are better places.
Rafael Nadal
Image
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
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.

Anyone could become a star, but everyone must be a human being.

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.

I am No. 8 in the world. I am not No. 100.
Rafael Nadal
Image
Certainly I would like to have some of the qualities of other players and obviously from Roger Federer. But believe me, there are plenty of other abilities that are important, particularly mindset and strength.

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.

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.

I will work day after day like I did my whole life ... I'm not going to change anything.
Rafael Nadal
Image
In your career you have a lot of good moments and bad ones. The important thing is to have enough motivation to keep working all the days with humility and trying to be a better player than before. I am going to try to continue doing this.

My uncle developed the training philosophy. His idea of good tennis training is basically quite simple: you must try to gain time.
