Like everything I do in my life. We should not pursue to be number one. We must do what you get, and if it comes, great. This year is a great year. The last six months of 2009 were not bad but I had the feeling that could win a tournament .. and this year itself, and that's the most important, "he said.

Thing of bottle is useless, "he said, adding that believes nothing in tennis psychological help and support after admires Tiger Woods," because their attitude in the field is amazing. "
Nadal reminded that the point of which always tends to agree, of his life was one in his second Wimbledon final. "I had the opportunity to" match point "and lost in the fourth set when I had the ball in the middle of the track, and I thought, now I am champion of Wimbledon and he made a "passing." But then I learned and I said, if I lose him again it must be because I've earned it, and that made me win. "
