Rafa, on Roger
I know everyone has already seen this, but if I don't post it, I'll forget about it. XD
Nadal says of his rival Federer: “When I play against him, it always seems a special feeling. But I don’t know if it’s rivalry because I never think that…I don’t know if he is the best of the history…I never saw one player like him - very complete in all aspects… he’s almost a perfect player,” he says of the Federer Express.
Nadal admits the Swiss inspires him to become a better player: “What makes me a better player isn’t seeing Roger being a perfect player. What makes me a better player is to watch Roger always improve because when he was number one in 2004…I saw him and he was an unbelievable player, but after a few times, he was better and he was improving during all his career. And that says to me is you must improve all the time.”
Widely considered as the greatest tennis match in history, Nadal admits that winning the 2008 Wimbledon final against Federer is a turning point for his career: “It was amazing. A lot of emotions in the match. It was one of the most important matches in my career if not the most.”
