Rafael Nadal Practice and Interview in Manacor. 28-09-2016
- 8 years ago
Rafael Nadal's last practice before his travel to Beijing.
Translated by Genny SS:
Rafa says he's happy because it's been a week of good practice there. Now it comes a complicated tour in China with two difficult tournaments, but he's eager to start competing, as in the middle of the season he missed two months and a half without being able to do it. Main goal now is to try to get to the very good level he had before pulling out from Roland Garros. He has what's left of this season plus one month and something before next season starts to get there. About Beijing and Shanghai Rafa says they're tournaments with very good players and where from the 1st rounds you need to be at 100%. So, expectation is not winning, but competing well. Repeating the results of last year would be great. Finally, he makes a similar comment about the World Tour Finals (if he qualifies), since the very best players are there and is played on the most difficult surface for him.
