We were speaking of number one and its circumstances. Rafa said, that to return to number one it is not now for you a high-priority objective and that this was going to depend on how they were the things. But, it could analyze the situation in highest of the List of the ATP?
The facts are there: Federer has won in Australia, the first Grand Slam, and that gives an important advantage it with the new formula of score. With that advantage, he can be fitting his calendar. But this is very competitive, more and more…



What do you mean?

Generally, that if one watches the List of Entrances, we are many young people those who we are in the first places: Djokovic, I myself, Murray, Of the Colt… and Federer is one of most veteran, along with Davydenko and Roddick. The time will be happening and I believe that Roger is going to be adapting the calendar more and more.
March to the Masters de Indian Wells and supplied with munitions Miami and so Forcades and Maymó, their trainers, define as “one preseason”. There is some clear aspiration in these matches?

Basically, the fundamental thing is that I well physically am, hard… and the knees no longer hurt to me. The pain is forgotten at the moment. I have gotten to make training of tennis from up to three hours. Lack the competition… and to take confidence. Summarize I saying it that attempt to leave with options in all the matches. Options, to at least be able to compete. To win already depends on many factors.
Then, which is the exposition for Indian Wells?

To play well and to be reclaiming sensations and confidence. There and in Miami. They are matches that have occurred me well almost always. I travel with all the illusion.
We are in which the knees do not hurt to him and in which the general state is best the possible one, before these matches. But, mentally and facing the future, they assault doubts to him?

Clear that there are doubts… when injuries are had, always there are doubts. I do not know, always are moments at which it is not known well to what to rely. It is seen on the land. More long term, or one will see if I must worry to me or not seriously.
To catch this idea, first it would be necessary to know which creates Rafa Nadal that was its better season until this moment and, secondly, if it thinks that still it is enabled to return at that level…

Clear Hmmm… that the best season was the one of 2008: I gained Roland Garros, Wimbledon, I was Olympic champion and in addition I had number one. But before beginning that season it did not see me either enabled like making so many things. And it already sees what happened later.

(In both Masters 1,000 that now plays in the USA, Indian Wells and Miami, Rafa Nadal will not be accompanied by its Toni uncle, who will remain in Majorca, between Porto Christ and Manacor. In the USA, Francis Roig will advise to Rafa technically. Toni Nadal will return next to its nephew for the European season on earth beaten, that takes the 11 of April, in the Masters de Montecar it: Nadal defends title).
And the sensations that it had left after the year beginning, between Abu Dabi, Doha and Australia…

He was contented because, at some moments, those sensations had been better than many of which I had in all 2009. When I arrived at Australia, it had closely together been to gain the match in Doha and had had that continuity that needed and with that it is easier to take the level. I hope to arrive again there.
The best season was the one of 2008. And, the triumph or more exciting memory in the memory of Rafa Nadal?

They are always the first successes that are obtained: the first Grand Slam, the first Glass clear Davis… and, the title of Wimbledon in 2008, by everything what meant and after losing two followed end, in both previous years.
After the matches of the USA in fast track, the European season in beaten earth will arrive. And there…

He is one of the great objectives, as always and by the points that I defend. Besides playing well in the USA, the idea is that it is taking confidence for when the moment arrives for defending those points in Europe.
We spoke yesterday a little its experience in the recording of the “video” of “Gypsy”, next to Shakira. It would repeat it?

I was enchanted, was a different experience and I passed it very well to me. To repeat it? It is never known.
Six titles of the Grand Slam, including four in Roland Garros, 15 Masters Series or Masters 1,000, the gold medal in the Olympic Games of Beijing, number one of the world in 2008… What it has left to do or to obtain, Rafa?

To me usually they make that question. And, as I am 23 years old, only there is an answer: it is much ahead.
