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.

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
Image
I doubt about myself. I think doubts are good in life. The people who don't have doubts I think only two things-arrogance or not intelligence.
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.

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.
