"Nico has grown a lot as a player '

1. Hello, Rafa. Almagro has never lost in your six clashes, although in the last two made you a maximum effort. What do you think are the keys to the game rooms? What do you fear more Nico tennis? Eduardo Pedro

Almagro is playing very well and in Madrid was a very good game. We know it will be a hard-fought game and very different from Roland Garros two years ago. Nico has grown a lot as a player.

2. Hola Rafa. Reviewing pictures of you from previous years so far, looks like you lost enough muscle bulk, weight loss and now seems to have recovered some. I imagine that in an elite athlete such changes are not random. Have you already reached your weight / ideal musculature or are you still adjusting? Do you change your regimen depending on the type of surface should you play? Thanks and good luck. Jesus Rosario

The truth is that I have the same weight and the same muscle mass. Be that with long sleeves is otherwise. All the same, believe me.

3. Rafa, how are you? My question is half a fool, but I'm curious. Are the 'ballboys' can talk to you at parties? Have you ever spent a 'Ballboy' cheer you while you were losing or you said something? If so you like or deconcentration? Until the fifth not stop biting! I love you! LETU

Hahaha. No, I do not think both have come but once spoken, especially in Italy.

4. Hola Rafa. After the whistles of last year and the reaction was Verdasco in Nice How you are treating the French to the Spanish public in general and you in particular? Do not you think that Davis is going to be a hostile atmosphere against you? Thank you very much and hope you come back to win. Cesar Figueroa

No problem.

5. Hola Rafa. I take this opportunity to thank the good times you've made me go and left. A question, do your friends want to play with you to the blades on the beach in summer? Do you dare? Whenever I see someone on the shore playing wonder. Good luck and hopefully the physical with you for many years. A kiss and many thanks. Reyes Carretero

Thank you very much. I hope that time continues ... Yes, set the blades in the summer with one of them. Tomeu, for example, was a tennis player, so we played well.

6. Hola Rafa. What trophy (cup or similar) of those who have earned, or not, you find more aesthetically beautiful? Thanks and congratulations for being a great inside and outside the track. Oscar Delgado

For me, Wimbledon and the Godó are the prettiest.

7. Rafa the Great, do you see playing to thirty? Does it depend on: the physical, the results or the motivation? Know that you are a great example to follow. Nacho Bol

Not depend on like this. Both the results and of course motivation.

8. Hola Rafa! While the kick is not your best shot, the truth is that much better when the point is key. Why is that? Does it increase your concentration? Can not maintain that level in all the snaps? Thank you very much and good luck. John Macario

Because it is important that point 'free'. The concentration is the same but if you take always the same then I read the throw easily. So is varied and large items that you use the better.

9. Hello, Rafa. Just curious: Have you counted the days you spent at home with your family since the beginning of the season? Regards, champion. July Queen

No, but I know they are few.

10. Hi, champ. I'm following a lot of matches of the tournament on television and gives me the impression that this Roland Garros become more left than ever. When I play tennis is my favorite stroke. Do you enjoy you too the left? Who do you think is the best in this aspect of the game? Manuel Castano.

I enjoy the point gained, whether it is left as if it is not. It is one thing I use when I see a lot but if I can.
