More quotes by Rafael Nadal
I like a lot of sports. Especially football - it's my favourite sport. My uncle played football in Barcelona for nine years and played for Spain in three World Cups.
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
I just wanted to see how the shorts felt again.
Rafael Nadal
I am not the most courageous guy in the world outside of the court.
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
I like fishing. Not actual fishing - I like the peace and quiet of being at sea. It's different.
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 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
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
Some people may learn something from the way I play tennis. But there are also players who are better than me in certain techniques.
Rafael Nadal
It is no longer enough to play very well. You need to be able to give an answer at all times and everywhere. You cannot hide. This has something to do with maturity, and that is something you only acquire over the years.
Rafael Nadal
The glory is being happy. The glory is not winning here or winning there. The glory is enjoying practicing, enjoy every day, enjoying to work hard, trying to be a better player than before.
Rafael Nadal
Anyone could become a star, but everyone must be a human being.
Rafael Nadal
Tennis is beautiful when you can see tactics, when players don't just react but are able to act and think.
Rafael Nadal
I am going to fight for important things.
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
My uncle developed the training philosophy. His idea of good tennis training is basically quite simple: you must try to gain time.
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
When one gets beaten by somebody better, one has to know how to lose with humility. Sure, I could have served better. Sure, I could have hit my forehand harder. But the truth was this was like an avalanche, and there was no way to stop it.
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.
