Rafael Nadal

I have lived my whole life with high intensity.

More than anything, believe that you can win.

Something that works for one person could be a disadvantage to another.

I will do as I usually do. Tomorrow is going to be a day like any other day.

The US player Andy Roddick reaches speeds of 220 kilometers per hour when he serves. If I train with him every day, I will later be at an advantage against a player whose service crosses the net at 190 kilometers per hour.

I didn’t play a great match, but once I pass the first two rounds, things get easier. I’m used to the court and the conditions.

Confidence is the most important thing in this sport, and the confidence from winning Wimbledon would make it easier to win the Olympics, too. Either would be very difficult, both even more-but the player who wins Wimbledon will be the favorite for the Olympics. It can happen.

That’s the hard part about sport: as men we haven’t started to be in our prime, but as athletes we are old people. I needed support. I lost trust and did stupid things.

I like fishing. Not actual fishing – I like the peace and quiet of being at sea. It’s different.

My serve can get better, for sure. It’s not just about serving bombs, but positioning, variation in speed, in spin.

I am happy with being a tennis player and the choice I took when I was 12. But clearly, if I wouldnt have been a tennis player, I would have loved to be a soccer player. But again, I am happy with the choice I made.

Don’t think about being the number one in the world, try instead to get through today’s program as well as you can. Then we will see whether one day you’ll end up as number one or number 100.

I need to improve, I want to improve, and to be able to stay in London and play on grass before Wimbledon is a very good opportunity for me.

I take pleasure in tennis and the hope that it requires.

I don’t really care what the man on the street thinks. I never did anything to please him in the first place, and I’m not going to start now.

I go to my favourite tournament, I talk about my favourite sport and it’s just a great month of parading.

Tennis is a psychological sport, you have to keep a clear head. That is why I stopped playing.

Please don’t call me arrogant, but I’m European champion and I think I’m a special one.

You can swim any way you like in the Dead Sea, actually.

I love this game, I love this sport, I love this league. Why don’t I get my own team?

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.
