Q&A- #9
'I'm the the only one who puts pressure on myself'
1. Rafa, you're the best! A curiosity: After your matched you throw your wristbands to the public , why don't you do the same with the headband? Cheers, this year the fifth won't escape! At home we enjoy those bites very much... (Ángeles Miranda Badia)
Because I do not I have so many headbands, so I wash them and use them again. Besides also I give them to people.
2. Hola Rafa. This weekend I have a tournament on clay, like you! We are contesting in the qualifyin of the League of Veterans of Heit, in Chiclana, Cadiz. We hope to see you on TV on Friday and Sunday, in between games. We will also play some holes and paddle. Have you ever played paddle? How do you view the sport? (Jesus de Sobrino)
I was told that there are good golf courses. Let's see if I will someday. And on the paddle, yes I've played. Nothing to do with tennis but it's fun.
3. Hi Rafa, I've been following you for a long time and I live in Russia. My wife is Russian and admires you, and when your games are shown here, we watch them together. I would like to ask you something, what do you think of all these fans in your country that say you only know to pass the ball? My wife does not believe and I always wondered why we Spaniards are like this. I do not know that answer, because it makes me mad. Thanks for your tennis and your good work as a person, a hug and luck at Roland Garros. (Augusto Baez)
I do not know, the truth is I do not usually pay attention to people who are mean-spirited in any aspect of life. And to tell you the truth I haven't see those comments.
4. Hola Rafa. I wonder what you'll change in your game if you reach the final against Soderling to avoid the stumble of last year.. Will you play differently, high balls to backwards, trying to break the rhythm of the game? Maybe you'll start attacking? (Raúl Martín)
I'll see, I'll see. The first is the semi-finals match on Friday against Melzer and that's the only thing that worries me at the moment. Nothing about Soderling or final. That is still far away. I go game by game.
5. Hello Rafa .- I am one of the biggest fans of you that you have around the world and I am very pleased when you win tournaments because I consider you triumphs mine. My question is about your future. [b]What are you going to be when you grow up? Thanks and good luck (Gerardo Ferrero)
Thank you very much. Yes I speak you the truth when I say I have not thought of it still, I hope I stay long way off so I will still time to think about these things. I'll say that it will be something sports related
6. Hola Rafa! In a video of yours when you were 13 years or so, you said you liked to play outdoor fast courts ... Over the years, how did you changed your mind? Good luck for today's match! A big hug. (Giulia)
No, no. I like playing outdoors ... but if the clay is better ...
7. Good Rafa! My question is rather frivolous, but I have a curiosity: Why did you change the sleeveless shirts with sleeves? Before you had a warrior aspect, in my view, imposed more to the rival.. Anyway, every day you are more crack, a hug! (Javier Sanchez)
Ugh, is a story that I have said many times. I wanted to change, evolve. We discussed with the brand and together we decided this path. I do not think that I would impose more or less with or without sleeves, really. What imposes the field for and against is he game.
8. First, good luck for your next match Rafa, hopefully you will win Roland Garros. I watch you as often as I can and I admire you for your ability to sacrifice and humility. I notice that now when you're winning more you have more pressure and it (winning) provides more opportunities. Do you feel more pressure now than before? (Juan A. de la Coba)
No, the truth is that I have no pressure. I alone put pressure on myself and push myself to win
9. Hi Rafa, no doubt watching you play is very entertaining. A query, and indeed grateful if answering this question. Do not you think that, both in football and tennis (as elsewhere) the amount of money paid to players is exaggerated? I Do not believe much in the NGOs of the famous, but I also say that more than one million euros per Grand Slam should stimulate a lot. (Jorge del Castillo)
It is a very complex question, which is not easy to answer and, in two lines. I believe that sport produces a lot of money, employs many people and is a circle in the end after all. Hard to explain.
10. Hello Rafa. If they proposed you to play double with Roger Federer when both of you finish your singles careersl, will you accept? Trying to win Wimbledon or Roland Garros in double, perhaps for charity. I'm sure you won't lose a match. Continues as you go,and ir will go very well. Takes care of e your knees.
Delighted of the life. We already discussed for years and I know they have asked him recently. Sure we'll play one day. Which one I do not know, I don't think it will be at Roland Garros or Wimbledon, for sure.
