More quotes by Rafael Nadal
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
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
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 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
Tennis is beautiful when you can see tactics, when players don't just react but are able to act and think.
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
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
Anyone could become a star, but everyone must be a human being.
Rafael Nadal
He's a fantastic player and he's going to be around so much longer so I'm happy with every one I get before he takes them all
Rafael Nadal
I'll never have a tattoo - I just don't like them, and when you're old they can look a disaster. As for piercings, I don't like them on men.
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
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
I like a lot of sports. Especially football - it's my favourite sport. My uncle played football in Barcelona for nine years and played for Spain in three World Cups.
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
I'm delighted and feel incredibly happy with what have been an amazing two months.
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
It's the same old story, all you think about is money.
Rafael Nadal
In Majorca, I can be myself. I go to the supermarket and the cinema, and I am just Rafa. Everyone knows me, and it is no big deal. I can go all day - no photographs.
Rafael Nadal
Something that works for one person could be a disadvantage to another.
