Rafa Nadal is aware that this season has not been the best, but certainly not their intention to continue improving his game to try to regain the world number 1, now in the hands of Novak Djokovic. "I think Rafa, 2010 had something more special than the 2011 Rafa, especially in complicated situations. Win or lose depends on things very, very small. And probably resolved these little things better in 2010 than in 2011. It´s hard win the big games. I lost a lot of finals this year, I lost seven of ten, "he said at a news conference.

The Spaniard admitted to having played "worse" than in 2010 but does not agree with Andy Murray believes that traditional rulers have fallen circuit performance. "I do not think the level is better than in 2010 or 2009. For me it´s similar. Even now, the mine and Federer is a little worse," he said.

This has been well, first, because mentally I´ve been in perfect condition, and secondly because I´ve always tried to improve. That is the goal and is what I hope to continue doing so long, "he added.

So I lost some important games. I do not know if this will be a positive or negative for the future," he said. However, Nadal is with the "enough excitement and motivation" to keep working hard "to find solutions and be an even better player next year." Finally, he denied that Djokovic, who won ten tournaments this year has changed his style. "He´s done some things better than in previous years and from that comes the great success of this year. That´s what I´m going to try to do," he said.
