Rafael Nadal
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
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.

I was shy when I was a kid, I was very shy, but now I think I've improved a lot. I can speak OK with the media and with the people. My English is still bad but I feel a little bit better now than before.
Rafael Nadal

Rafael Nadal
If I am not playing at one hundred percent, it is going to be very difficult for me to win.
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
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
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 just try to win the match by fighting for every point, and running down every ball.
Rafael Nadal
You just try to play tough and focus point for point. Sounds so boring, but it's the right thing to do out there.
Rafael Nadal
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
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.
