RAFA NADAL "I make my tennis, not with the mind"
Google translation
Rafael Nadal (Manacor, Mallorca, 1986) says goodbye to Pau Gasol on a hotel lounge where you match in Paris. It's the first day after the culmination of an odyssey: Roland Garros win again, for the eighth time, its 12th largest, after seven months out with a left knee injury. For tired eyes is still the mark of celebration. His hands move quickly, accompanying his words with gestures.
Question. How does it feel when an opponent takes the limit, as Novak Djokovic in the semifinals?
Answer. My only regret is that we must endure some more. That's my only feeling. "Resist a little more, you do not know how far it will resist the other either. I'm very bad, but maybe the other is also the limit. Try forcing a bit more to see if you end up winning. " That extra effort is always worth it, win or lose. It is a matter of personal satisfaction to return to the locker room. Priceless. Feelings are very complicated to explain.
P. He refuses to lose ...
R. Not refuse to lose, is refusing to throw in the towel. I refuse to give up. That's what makes me happy when it ends: knowing that I have done everything I could, and if I lost, I lost.
P. Sometimes you speak of suffering as a friend, as Djokovic ...
R. I think he's a great fighter and a great sufferer.
P. But most logically prefer to suffer as little as possible. Where does the difference?
R. From the illusion for what you do, passion for what you do. To live everything you do with passion. Of all that cost you get there, you do not want to give up because you know what it cost you arrive. It is a physical, mental suffering is. Truth ... but after all you're playing in a power of Roland Garros, your childhood dream, you're living a party that you know it's special, you know that whatever happens will be one of the games of the year, so means. Is it a pain? Yes, but it is a gift and a joy to be there at that time.
I refuse to give up. It's what makes me happy when the party ends "
P. Prior to feel competitive, needed to train and play a lot. Conquer Roland Garros with only eight tournaments in a year shows that anymore. Is that outcome vindicates its technical quality over your mind and physical strength?
R. It is a logical evolution of the race. When you get older, you have more automated things, the game actually does not need much preparation. Honestly, the mental and physical theme is fantastic to have it clear that at the level of values, and in order to sell that idea is also very positive. I think mentally and physically it's true I've been a player struggled, I've always tried to beat. Apart from the struggle and surrender, that value, as the illusion to improve, is a very important mental prowess ... but you can not get what I achieved without everything else, without having a great drive, a setback or a large ball control. Sometimes we forget to highlight those things because it shows otherwise.
P. You can not win without a racket, huh?
R. Mental toughness and physical strength help you at any given time of the game, but to win the overall computation you win matches with tennis and not the mind. Matches with the mind can win like the other day in the semis against Djokovic, but to win it with the mind you have to reach the limit situation, and that situation you have to get tenísticamente limit. It's a combination of everything. Tennis is what makes me get to where I am and mental strength is what made me get that extra things would not have gotten [without it].
Live everything I do with passion. For all that it took me to get here "
P. Who would not appreciate his technique is a matter of aesthetics, not to have a one-handed backhand like Federer?
R. If you ask my opponents think tenísticamente will tell you that I have many special things. Perhaps always stressed more mental strength because I have played many games long, five hours, in which I have traced, very even until the end. This type of games are the most memorable, of course, and my style of play, struggle, surrender, has meant that these types of games have gone hand in hand with my career. A Federer, for his game, more than three shots, did not have those games so long in his career. Technically, there is no doubt that it is better than me, but obviously I'm also better than most. If not, he could not be here.
P. "The sport without goals is stupid", you said.
R. These things have always thought and lived well. We must be realistic: playing tennis without a goal ... okay. I give with a racket and step over the net a ball. What does that mean? Very little. Itself is stupid. Sports in general are stupid if one does not take them to the fullest. The ultimate goal is to play with passion, with an illusion. I've thought a lifetime. When I play golf I try to do my best. People make mistakes sometimes. He says: "What I love is winning." To me what is love competition, effort, concentration, trying to do my best. Obviously, I like to win, but I have the feeling full is to do the best that I can. If not, do not see the point at issue. If not, accept that we will laugh and do something else.
P. How do you feel your own teammates in the locker room to see him as an idol? In Madrid, with Horacio Zeballos spoke, wished him luck, and he reacted jubilantly: "I blessed the Pope".
R. I can not imagine. Honestly, I feel close to any player, especially those who speak Spanish, because the relationship is simpler. Do not think they see me as such. I do not know. I feel a close and I think I look like.
Sports in general are stupid if you do not maximizes "
P. Now back to Wimbledon [since June 24], where it was injured in 2012.
R. Last year I went to Wimbledon without being good, being injured, I played infiltrator. I tried to make the effort for all that means that tournament for me. Could not be. Force. All I wanted to try there was too limit. Not negatively affected me everything that was going to happen next. When you reach this year, just being there is great news. It is a beautiful tournament, which I love. Although not come well prepared, the simple fact of being there fills me.
P. I clean the head.
R. It fills me, I like the feeling of stepping on the grass, playing on those tracks, it's a different feeling. For me, whatever the outcome, always worth it. Am I too worse prepared than other times? [For the first time will not play on grass before the tournament] Yes, but always it comes down to the same thing: get healthy, either physically, because mentally I think I will get well. Then, if I can be lucky enough to spend some matches, maybe then the fact of not having played a tournament before becoming something positive for all it means to mental freshness. There, all matches are very difficult, is more uncertainty tournament of the year. The confidence of having won here gives me that extra that can allow you to play well there.
P. Does Nadal 2008, allowed only four games to Federer in the final in Paris, is better than 2013?
R. Tenísticamente? Talking about? Could be. There are times and moments. The 2008 did not have the things that 2013 and 2013 have had things not 2008. When it comes to pure Roland Garros, maybe the best I've played in my career. What you need to look at is the whole. In 2008 I was in a place that probably results today continue to be. These things are in the past. I'm looking forward.
Wimbledon is the tournament of the year with more uncertainty. Being there fills me "
P. What is the best advice you gave during low?
R. When I stood I was lucky to have the family around, which is very important. Also my team, which helped me to continue working with the enthusiasm and the mentality to keep fit. I've had friends and sponsors who have continued to rely on me. That has been a very important source of trust.
P. He asked to be made public the exact number of controls that are given to each player. Are you bothered that during the low was none could understand what was missing?
R. I hate when a player comes out and says, "Me too little control." Very easy to look good this way. Or say, I control too. [Want to be] I control this. So many times. That goes public. So do not think the doubt or the feeling that one is very good because it says too little control and another is very bad for saying that control too. You'd make everything public, and so there is no question about these things. Disappeared? I have been missing in any case, everyone wanted me to find known where to find me, in my home and working every day.
