More quotes by 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
I have lived my whole life with high intensity.
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
We should try to teach the young people values that are useful to them whether they become professional athletes or not.
Rafael Nadal
I am very lucky because when I come back home, I have a completely normal life. I can relax, playing golf, fishing - doing what I want. I know when I finish a tournament, I am going to relax at home.
Rafael Nadal
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
I admire a lot of people, but in terms of sport I've always loved the mentality of Tiger Woods on a golf course. I always love his eyes when he's setting himself and focusing on his decision he has a really strong, focused face and believes that he can make the shot.
Rafael Nadal
I'd rather lose an argument than get into a long discussion in order to win it.
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
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 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
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
I live where I would like to live. I live in Majorca, Spain, and I am not sure there are better places.
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
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 am decidedly unfriendly during a golf game, from the first hole to the last.
Rafael Nadal
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
It's the same old story, all you think about is money.
Rafael Nadal
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.
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
