The beaten Earth arrived and is time of benefit for Nadal. A day after winning in Montecar it, already trained in Barcelona, where it will try as of morning to revalidar triumph in the Open Seat-Godó by third followed time. Nothing restrains to the Majorcan eddy.
It concerned to Rafa Nadal the heat to him, neither the six hours of trip that took in crossing in car the distance that unites Montecar it with Barcelona, nor the week of intense competition, nor the battle fought before Roger Federer, nor another success the more (and or many go), nor? Because for the Majorcan, after the celebrations, there is no undertow, but work. For that reason, yesterday to 13:00 hours, cap and racket in hand, Tennis of Barcelona to prepare its following challenge trained in the tracks of the Real Club: to revalidar the Open Seat-Godó, that is celebrated from yesterday and to Sunday in Barcelona, by third consecutive time. Before, the valuations on its historical triumph in Monaco, because one became, along with Ilie Nastase, in the only one in obtaining three followed titles.
I am better than ever at this point of season. I have made many points and I am already second in the race of the ATP
67 victories. In spite of already taking 67 encounter without losing in beaten earth - it does not do it from the month of April of 2005-, Nadal is not obsessed with statistical records nor, but that registers an innovating mentality, of winner, perhaps the secret of his game:
In tennis always it is lost. Sooner or later, the defeats arrive. It can tomorrow be, in two weeks or more ahead. My objective is not to look for records, but to compete upper always at the level
That, possibly, is the formula that has made him remain as much time invicto and to remove from quicio to Roger Federer, world-wide number one, that are lost the five earth encounter that have played with the Majorcan.
There was a point in the first Seth who was crucial. Perhaps the distance with Federer in earth is something greater. To the players who we dominated the three Earth interests more to play sets, because the calendar very is compressed
Step step, Federer leaves the sky to locate itself more near Rafa Nadal, although for the Majorcan the number one continues being clear.
The classification at the end of season is right. There are four surfaces and it is awarded to most regular. Federer has demonstrated that it is it, no matter how much I always win in beaten earth
it assured Rafa Nadal, that revealed that their difficulties with the English prevent him to intimar more with Federer, although considers one of the best companions
Montecar it already it represents the past for Rafa Nadal, and now its objective is centered in the Godó. The Spanish will tomorrow make debut before the winner of the encounter between the Italian Davide Sanguinetti and the Belgian Kristof Vliegen. "He makes special illusion Me play this match. My objective is to gain it. I believe that the facilities have been well and that the Godó has grown years in the last", declared.
After fulfilling before the press, Nadal trained in the track. It does not stop. Nor there is one who stops it.
