Danh ngôn của Rafael Nadal (Sứ mệnh: 3)

We'll try and be very aggressive, we'll try and speed up and change gears, and we'll see who's going to win.
I always wanted to be honest with myself and to those who have had faith in me.
Tennis is a hard sport. There is a lot of competition all year and you play alone.
I always work with a goal - and the goal is to improve as a player and a person. That, finally, is the most important thing of all.
The glory is being happy. The glory is not winning here or winning there. The glory is enjoying practicing, enjoy every day, enjoying to work hard, trying to be a better player than before.
Even if I have already peaked, I have to believe I can improve. I wake up every morning, and go to practice, with the illusion that I'm going to get better that day.
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.
Being home alone at night makes me a bit nervous. If I'm at home alone, I have to sleep on the sofa - I can't face going to bed. I'm there with the TV on and all the lights on. I'm not very brave about anything in life. In tennis, yes. In everything else, not very.
I like fishing. Not actual fishing - I like the peace and quiet of being at sea. It's different.
The family is very important. They make me feel good always because if I won, when I started to be famous, the relationship never changed with my friends and family.
My motivation is tomorrow, just one day at a time, right?
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.
Why would I want a place of my own? Then I would have to things worry about, like doing laundry and having food in the fridge.
I have no interest in becoming a tax exile and living somewhere I don't want to - I just want to be at home with my family.
I like a lot of sports. Especially football - it's my favourite sport. My uncle played football in Barcelona for nine years and played for Spain in three World Cups.
I normally listen to Spanish music - well, Latin music. I like a lot of singers.
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.
I have been learning English on the road since I started when I was 15, so it is a slow process but making some progress. Now I think I am much more comfortable with my English. However, it is difficult, still, when I speak about something that is not tennis.
