More quotes by 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 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
If I am not playing at one hundred percent, it is going to be very difficult for me to win.
Rafael Nadal
Certainly I would like to have some of the qualities of other players and obviously from Roger Federer. But believe me, there are plenty of other abilities that are important, particularly mindset and strength.
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 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.
Rafael Nadal
I have lived my whole life with high intensity.
Rafael Nadal
My uncle developed the training philosophy. His idea of good tennis training is basically quite simple: you must try to gain time.
Rafael Nadal
That's painful always to lose.
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 don't have any idols, any heroes, nothing, no.
