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
I just try to win the match by fighting for every point, and running down every ball.

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

What distinguishes tennis is respect for one's opponent, one's conduct on the court.
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.
Rafael Nadal

If the girls and boys have talent and feel like working on themselves, they can become champions.
Rafael Nadal
Image
I am not the most courageous guy in the world outside of the court.

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
Image
When one gets beaten by somebody better, one has to know how to lose with humility. Sure, I could have served better. Sure, I could have hit my forehand harder. But the truth was this was like an avalanche, and there was no way to stop it.
Rafael Nadal
Image
My motivation and aspiration is the same, being number one or being number five. So that's the truth. And my goal is the same - it's to always be happy playing, it's to enjoy the game and improve always.

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.
