How and why it has had to resign?
The decision has not been easy, but I have to accept it for medical advice. I am used to playing with pain, but this is different, new. I fail to control it. I tried to train soft, but even so I responded well the knee.

Rafa Nadal in the final resignation of David ¿Guilt of the calendar?
I do not know if the injury is too much hurry. It was a very intense season, a year Olympian who squeezed everything, but I think I forced too much for getting hurt. I have not done no madness to be number one in the world.

What would you say to the fans Spanish?
That I have not said no to playing, it was my knee which has said no. I am not prepared to approach a final like this. That's why I will not be able, despite my own. These are difficult decisions to make when it is not just for oneself, but of an entire team of Davis Cup. I hope they understand that for me there is nothing bigger than defend Spain.

/> The final is lost? No. The options of Spain is not just me. Without Nadal, my colleagues can win the final. We were not even playing my favorite. Now, Argentina will have even more pressure. We have players with size enough to win, but will not be easy. I am grateful to Emilio (Sanchez Vicario) support and understanding he has had.

Rafa, the Argentine: "Nothing happens, I understood the message"

The famous story of ortho Rafa Nadal is coming to an end. Last Monday, a Martin del Potro strain overwhelmed by the media after the controversial phrase ( "A Nadal is going to get the panties of ortho") phoned the number one world to clarify the misunderstanding. The player, tired of the dimensions that was reaching the controversy, wanted to settle with the manacorense.

The players laughed at the magnitude that had reached the frasecilla and with a "nothing happens, everything is normal, I understood the message" Rafael Nadal took all the heat out of the case and gave him settle their disputes coming at the controls of a video game. Nadal is aware of his mania put their pants before every point, so that was taken around the world the mood of the sentence of Argentina. The two tennis players are great friends and have shared many workouts. Among them are always throwing scream in jocular tone while throwing balls into the track, as far as Nadal is not caught improvisto of the message.

Del Potro called to ask for apology Nadal

Overwhelmed.
The young Argentine has shown promise in their own meats the pros and cons of being in the media stardom. All this is new to him and he has passed bill. After defeating Russia in the semifinal Davis Cup last weekend, the player, who turned 20 years last Tuesday, canceled all events scheduled for those days with the media Argentines. Now, he wants to focus on their training before leaving for Tokyo next week.

Del Potro was the first victim of this war to recover the wounded pride. The tandilense been found in the meat of the impact of a phrase in the heat of victory.

Argentina disputed his third Davis Cup final and his first at home. After losing to the United States in 1981 and to Russia in 2006, the albicelestes not want to fail again before a title to it resists all Latin American countries.

This final has become an issue of state and that the rival is Spain and also has the world's number one at the helm makes any effort to win by civil or criminal is little. Argentina is looking to complete weapons in the face November. The elder brother is dangerous and in basketball and lost his world hegemony before Gasol and company. The opportunity is unique and juicy rival.

The first match in the playstation


The four finalists in the next singles final of the Davis: Nadal, Ferrer, and Del Potro Nabaldián are big fans of video games and especially the football game Pro Evolution Soccer for the Playstation 3.

THE ARGENTINE IS A GREAT FRIEND OF SPANISH TENNIS PAYER

Juan Martin del Potro was the most wanted man barely gave Argentina the fifth point of the semifinal with Russia. It was warmly embraced with David Nalbandian and received congratulations from the rest of the team. A minute later, still on the track, he was asked about being the final with Spain. And he responded, for the entire stadium: "Yes, we will try to be as best as possible to get the pants to the ortho Nadal, "he said in jest and left laughing.

In fact, there is more of a joke that this gesture by Nadal in his usual game. Del Potro took the liberty of making this joke for the excellent relationship between the two. They share many hours on the circuit, training and a passion in common: the PlayStation. Will spend hours playing, and therefore knows that the Manacor not take it badly.

In any case, your joke reflects his young age, as the newly Tuesday its 20th Anniversary. And although the track seems very large (per game and stature), outside it is just a teenager.

ALL THE DYNAMICS OF CONCENTRATION AND GESTURES LE EMERGING NATURAL AS His uncle TONI

This is how the head of Nadal

Before each pull, we see him do the same gestures, unchanged, mechanics, almost inhuman. Rafa Nadal kept his head sewn to the ball, tennis, with no room for escape or frustrated. The mentality of the Mallorcan is a mixture of the hands of his uncle and coach, Toni, and a head and a sacrifice privileged. When Nadal did not run the ball more than the opposition, when the party becomes impossible, there is such a mind indestructible. This is how it works.

Just point and Rafa is going to be a recogepelotas. Grab a towel, dried his left arm, face and right. In the racket he left two balls, if he has got the first serve in the previous point, or three if they have not. With three balls on the strings, the searches and choose two. First gives several boats with the racket subject to the left, which makes this unsightly gesture that makes it so much grace to Novak Djokovic, and many others with his right hand. Typically, more than five in every way. Among middle dries some furtive drop to fall face.

This routine is unchanged, a precision that he did not know the history of tennis. A collection of gestures that, say, his uncle Toni taught him when he was small enough to not draw as fast between point and point. He it denies: "I've heard that I taught him to make these gestures, but it is not true. Yes it is true that he got tired very quickly and is more, but everything is yours harvest," he says. As to drink two bottles when resting or what not to step on the lines when it comes out to the runway. "When time passes and you settling in, you'll get these routines. For me, sometimes I say things that makes Rafael, like this that you tell me, where I have not fallen. Manias are theirs, nothing prepared. Or even talk to recogepelotas to get the towel or the ball fair: they already know, "he says smiling.

The key, education
Nadal appeared to empty his head between point and point. Never seems to drag the frustration of a little lost in the next. Thus, he was able to bring down the scaffolding of mental Roger Federer in the final of Wimbledon: All we saw something in the Swiss did crack at that legendary fifth set, how it came down, and how ever happened to Nadal, despite coming back from two sets against and suffer took by rain.

That mental battle, perhaps the largest in the history of tennis, won the Mallorcan. He was never saw a hint of complaint, self reproach in the midst of war. His uncle explained how they get: "It's a matter of education. One can not get your child to be educated, making it Always give the good days. There is a job and has to leave behind him. Here is the same. This makes what is done in training. I hate people who complain, in all spheres of life, and Rafael never makes it into the matches. It is an inconsistency: if you fail a lot because it is not enough to know what you're doing, so I had better best. And if you fail recently, is something with which we must live together without complaining. We must educate him in training: if you do something bad, you take it. It works well for you to quit. A Rafa will still have to say that not complain at some training if you do things wrong, "he says.

Containing the euphoria
Clearly, in the eyes of any fan who Rafa has tempered his way to celebrate the points. Before making any such biases, which should hold true goals in the middle of the game. Now his huge left arm is contracted many times, but not the quarter that before. "I like the expressive player on the track," said Toni Nadal. "When Rafael started in the circuit all lived with more passion, but has been tempered. It is logical. It should be spontaneous and celebrate, and I like how much celebrated victories. The sport has too much pressure. Ideally, Rafa will laugh in the parties, but between point and point, "he says.

Dennis believes that the best quality of the game Rafa is a player who is very orderly and hard-headed. " There is a clear leap in quality among other tennis circuit. Perhaps it is not to run the ball more, nor his setback is among the best. But his mental toughness is unmatched.

In the fourth point of the Davis Cup semi final against Andy Roddick in Las Ventas, Finally in September, we could see a point where the U.S. hit five breathtaking sticks, virtually matadors, and Rafa returned. It was clear that the U.S. ran the ball more, the result of an enormous physical, ideal for tennis. However, Roddick eventually crashed the ball into the net, in a final summary of what had been the gathering. For Toni Nadal, "there are sports, like football, where the best in the world failed many times in a game. In others, such as golf, tennis or chess, the ruling is very prisoner. The best in the world should little miss, " said.

A philosophy of life
In the end, the conclusion to be drawn to speak with Toni Nadal is the game that his nephew is far from limited to balls and rackets. That is the result of a philosophy of life. And Toni is a teacher who gives lessons that we should all learn: "Look, our parents were in a way because they lived a very different situation, the harshness of the war. So are harder. What Ortega y Gasset said, 'I am I and my circumstances. If you allow small all, if you get what you want without effort, you will be much less sacrificed, "he says. And there redice the success of a number, perhaps the most admired athlete who wakes up between us all.
