I love the beach. I love the sea. All my life I live within - in front of the sea. -Rafael Nadal Life
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. -Rafael Nadal Food
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. -Rafael Nadal Morning
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. -Rafael Nadal Morning
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. -Rafael Nadal Best
I like fishing. Not actual fishing - I like the peace and quiet of being at sea. It's different. -Rafael Nadal Peace
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. -Rafael Nadal Famous
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. -Rafael Nadal Sports
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. -Rafael Nadal Travel
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. -Rafael Nadal Work
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. -Rafael Nadal Positive
