Sanchez Vicario: "We're going to see the old Rafa again"
French article
Emilio Sanchez Vicario, former captain of the Spanish Davis Cup team talked about Spain’s number 1 Rafael Nadal in an interview with eurosport.yahoo.es.
“I think that we shouldn’t dramatize the situation; he’s one of the best players in the world and when he’s playing at his real level, he’s always as efficient. Starting from the American tournaments and the clay court season, we’re going to see the old Rafa again. It’s a matter of time before he finds his game again” he admitted before adding that he didn’t think that Rafa “arrived at this stage only thanks to his physique and his mentality. "

“I think that we shouldn’t dramatize the situation; he’s one of the best players in the world and when he’s playing at his real level, he’s always as efficient. Starting from the American tournaments and the clay court season, we’re going to see the old Rafa again. It’s a matter of time before he finds his game again” he admitted before adding that he didn’t think that Rafa “arrived at this stage only thanks to his physique and his mentality. "
"It’s impossible to get this far with only that. There are four key elements to his game: his physique by which he excels, but not only because of his endurance and his frame but also because of the way he takes care of himself: they way he sleeps and prepares his matches; this is what makes him exceptional."
Vicario didn’t hesitate to point out the Mallorcan’s weakness, though.
“Rafa’s weakness is his serve: the fact that he doesn’t serve with the right hand has its limits. He lacks something regarding direction. When you watch him throw a ball to the umpire for example, he throws it with his right hand. He’s very good doing that with his other hand but he doesn’t do it in the same way."
