More quotes by Rafael Nadal
If the girls and boys have talent and feel like working on themselves, they can become champions.
Rafael Nadal
I would love to learn other languages, maybe French? My uncle speaks German so maybe also German? Chinese seems to be too difficult.
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
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 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
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
I am going to fight for important things.
Rafael Nadal
My serve can get better, for sure. It's not just about serving bombs, but positioning, variation in speed, in spin.
Rafael Nadal
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.
Rafael Nadal
I don't expect never an easy match. I always expect difficult matches.
Rafael Nadal
In Majorca, I can be myself. I go to the supermarket and the cinema, and I am just Rafa. Everyone knows me, and it is no big deal. I can go all day - no photographs.
Rafael Nadal
In your career you have a lot of good moments and bad ones. The important thing is to have enough motivation to keep working all the days with humility and trying to be a better player than before. I am going to try to continue doing this.
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
What happened happened. Important thing is what can come.
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
I live where I would like to live. I live in Majorca, Spain, and I am not sure there are better places.
Rafael Nadal
I was passionate about soccer. I still am. Odd, though - playing soccer always made me much more anxious than playing tennis. On soccer days, I'd be out of bed by 6 in the morning, all nervous. But I was always calm when it was time for a tennis match. I still don't know why.
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
What distinguishes tennis is respect for one's opponent, one's conduct on the court.
Rafael Nadal
Everybody is doing the best things possible to still healthy and to play as long as possible.
