More quotes by Rafael Nadal
I like fishing. Not actual fishing - I like the peace and quiet of being at sea. It's different.
Rafael Nadal
I would like to believe there is a God, but I think it is better to say I'm not sure there is a God and live your life with kindness and respect for people than to say I know there is a God and then do bad things.
Rafael Nadal
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.
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
New York is a special place it's a city that I love.
Rafael Nadal
I've stayed calm when I'm winning and I've stayed calm when I've lost. Tennis is a sport where we have a lot of tournaments every week, so you can't celebrate a lot when you have big victories, and you cannot get too down when you're losing, as in a few days you'll be in the next tournament and you'll have to be ready with that.
Rafael Nadal
If you are playing bad you are going to lose here, on clay, on ice, or on the beach.
Rafael Nadal
I play because I have fun, if I don't have fun on the court, there is something wrong. I am just a 19 year old boy that likes to do what he likes, nothing else.
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
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 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
All sports are continuously developing, but what they all have in common is that the speed is increasing. That's also true of tennis the ball is getting faster and faster.
Rafael Nadal
I have no interest in becoming a tax exile and living somewhere I don't want to - I just want to be at home with my family.
Rafael Nadal
Anyone could become a star, but everyone must be a human being.
Rafael Nadal
I am not the most courageous guy in the world outside of the court.
Rafael Nadal
Last four months were great for me, was probably one of the best four months of my career, playing unbelievable in the clay court season.
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
It should not be a child's only goal to become the best player in the world. That would be a bad, a harmful attitude.
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
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.
Rafael Nadal
