More quotes by Rafael Nadal
I've stayed calm when I'm winning and I've stayed calm when I've lost. Tennis is a sport where we have a lot of tournaments every week, so you can't celebrate a lot when you have big victories, and you cannot get too down when you're losing, as in a few days you'll be in the next tournament and you'll have to be ready with that.
Rafael Nadal
I became a player who goes to a lot of effort while training, who can rely on his will and his mental strengths.
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

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
What happened happened. Important thing is what can come.
Rafael Nadal
Seriously, I am not a person that I think much about what happened or what didn't happen or what could happen. I happy about the things that happened to me. I'm a lucky person, for sure, for all the things that happened to me during my life.
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.

I don't have any idols, any heroes, nothing, no.

I just wanted to see how the shorts felt again.
Rafael Nadal
I don't expect never an easy match. I always expect difficult matches.

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
Is always the motivation to play better and better. But I think we are in a very good way to keep winning matches. That's most important thing for me.

If I am not playing at one hundred percent, it is going to be very difficult for me to win.
Rafael Nadal
