More quotes by 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
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
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
I'm not the best player in the history of tennis. I think I'm amongst the best. That's true. That's enough for me.
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
I played almost four hours today, ... Im very, very tired.
Rafael Nadal
I'll never have a tattoo - I just don't like them, and when you're old they can look a disaster. As for piercings, I don't like them on men.
Rafael Nadal
Anyone could become a star, but everyone must be a human being.
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
I just wanted to see how the shorts felt again.
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
I'd rather lose an argument than get into a long discussion in order to win it.
Rafael Nadal
I will work day after day like I did my whole life ... I'm not going to change anything.
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 more a tennis problem than a mental problem. The transition is difficult. It depends how much time you have. Playing on grass can sometimes be a bit of a lottery.
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
What distinguishes tennis is respect for one's opponent, one's conduct on the court.
Rafael Nadal
You know, a lot of things changed. What never changed is the illusion to keep playing tennis, the illusion to keep doing well the things, and the illusion to be in a good position of the ranking and play these kind of matches.
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
Tennis is beautiful when you can see tactics, when players don't just react but are able to act and think.
