Rafael Nadal, who beat Frenchman Richard Gasquet 6-2 6-2 6-3 in the first round of U.S. Open, remained cautious on expectations, noting that is still far from believing in the triumph.
I spent the first round. To think to win you have to be in the final. Im in the beginning, said the tennis Spaniard, who was well on track.
I found positive perceptions. I got good and very good upside. The right-most to least, and here I can improve. Thats the easiest because its my best shot. Everything has been positive and I hope this game gives me confidence and everything will be much better, "said Spanish tennis player.
Davis Nadal, who said that tennis is a hobby and work at once, said that always works hard to improve all strokes and was open and excited to play for Spain in Davis Cup if the captain calls.
The Spanish tennis player ruled squarely that physical illness, the signs had not during the game, started the tournament in Madrid.
Is ugly to say that I played badly when he was winning, but was far from my best on earth
The evil is before Madrid. It starts in Monte Carlo. Youre in pain. I won by inertia. He came to play well in Australia and Indian Wells. Is ugly to say that I played badly when he was winning. But he was far from my best on earth. The knee pain makes you train less and have worse attitudes. If pain control is no problem but if not control everything gets worse, he said.
Music and stroll through the Big Apples free time in New York musical saw walking down the city, Central Park and other hours in the hotel, said Nadal, who will play the next match against Germanys Nicolas Kiefer.
Kiefer is a good player with a great experience. Has been playing well but I think I have chances to win if Im at my level, he said.
