You fight, you try your best, but if you lose, you don't have to break five racquets and smash up the locker room. You can do those things, but when you've finished, nothing's changed. You've still lost. If something positive came from that, I probably would do it. But I see only negativity.

From Rafael Nadal

I'm ambidextrous when I eat. But playing tennis right-handed - I can't do it. I'm clueless.

From Rafael Nadal

You just try to play tough and focus point for point. Sounds so boring, but it's the right thing to do out there.

From Rafael Nadal

I am very lucky because when I come back home, I have a completely normal life. I can relax, playing golf, fishing - doing what I want. I know when I finish a tournament, I am going to relax at home.

From Rafael Nadal

I was passionate about soccer. I still am. Odd, though - playing soccer always made me much more anxious than playing tennis. On soccer days, I'd be out of bed by 6 in the morning, all nervous. But I was always calm when it was time for a tennis match. I still don't know why.

From Rafael Nadal

I started to travel like this at the age of 15 so for me, it's normal. Some days you get tired and you feel, 'I want to stay at home a little bit more,' but it's only the moment.

From Rafael Nadal

I always wanted to be honest with myself and to those who have had faith in me.

From Rafael Nadal

It's important to have people around you with enough confidence to say if you are not acting in a good way. Normally, when you are at the top, people say everything is fantastic. Probably in that moment it is what you want to hear, but it's best to be reminded how to act properly.

From Rafael Nadal

Every year I go to Broadway to see a musical - I like the music. I saw 'Mamma Mia;' I saw 'Les Miserables;' I saw 'Phantom of the Opera' like six, seven times.

From Rafael Nadal

New York is a special place; it's a city that I love.
