Nadal: “It’s hard to think about good things now, but the sport is changing fast”

Staying in Madrid Masters 1,000 after defeating Australian Alex de Miñaur, cautiously urged Rafa Nadal, who does not want to throw his bells in the air despite his acknowledged improvement.

However, the 22-time Grand Slam winner emphasized that there are two things that keep him motivated to play. “I always hope that everything will be fine. and I’m still excited and excited to play tennis,” insisted Nadal.

“We go every day. Honestly, it’s hard to think big these days, but sports life is changing fast. and if I’m here I give myself a chance for them to pass. It’s a beautiful day and I can never thank you enough for the love I feel here. In this difficult time you always have hope to live on days like this and it’s worth it. That it’s here at home means a lot,” said Nadal.

“I am happy. It’s hard to think that I can go to the third round, which doesn’t change much, but I lasted more than two hours.for me it is a lot and more in front of these people that it is incredible,” insists the Spaniard, cautiously, in accordance with his latest statements.

“Let’s not get carried away with the emotion of a match. At least I’m competitive at this level then it depends on what you want to aim for. I’ve done things that I couldn’t do last week. I’ve done a lot more. problems with training than I thought, but these three days have been better.

“There are things I haven’t been able to do the way I want and I have to be careful. The priority is that nothing serious is happening and the good thing is having the option to explore and see what happens. If physicists respond, let’s see how tennis responds. The week was not very good, but I spent another week at the circuit and in the last two years I have not been able to do training sessions with people from the circuit and now I am,” he said.

“I have had to play slower balls, although the second set did. I need to play with tactics, so that things don’t happen too quickly. I achieved this and I more or less executed and I have a Maintained the right level of tennis for more than two hours and that is positive,” he emphasized.

“In the end, my views will change every day. I need to be convinced that my body is responding, regain confidence in my body because a lot of things have happened to me, and then be confident in every sense. The view is ‘t help me.” changes, what happens is I have a chance to play another match. I will play three matches and that is positive.

“Of course when you experience such things and you know they are the last, they are exciting, but I lived very special and beautiful moments here. From the final with Ivan Ljubicic in 2005 until now. This is the end and The endings are always emotional, but I lived unforgettable moments and this is another one,” recalled Nadal.

“The most obvious improvement this week is the serve. I couldn’t do the ass because I haven’t served for months, but I have to keep serving. I can’t train a hundred serves because it takes “I finally got rid of something I didn’t have to think about,” he said.

“Sport has an amazing thing, it excites people. Not for me, the other day Real Madrid defended like crazy (against Manchester City), they won on penalties and everything was not believable, but if they lose they say it’s defensive and stuff. In the tie break 6-2, tied and hit the net… the excitement and enthusiasm spread to us In the end I’m excited,” he stressed.

“I see Tiger Woods. I see him at Augusta and I’m overwhelmed, but there’s a lot of things. Mine’s kind of the same. You get excited, but the truth is it’s just one game. The glass of energy and confidence is no more stuffing, but now I’m far from wanting these things it’s a small step forward for me, even with small steps big things are built,” he highlighted.
